Goodbye to overheated mobile phones



Goodbye to overheated mobile phones:

Researchers at Graz University of Technology shape the mobile telephone of the future

The "Dragon" EU project focuses on technologies for future generations of wireless communication

"Glowing ears" after lengthy telephone calls will soon be a thing of the past – partly thanks to researchers at Graz University of Technology and the Graz-based branch of Telecommunications Research Center Vienna, FTW Graz. Scientists from all over Europe joined forces in the "Dragon" EU project to anticipate what will be required of mobile telecommunication technologies in the future, and to find the solutions. Architecture, chip design and transmitting unit components were priorities in the work performed by the Graz-based group of scientists – with a special focus on energy efficiency with battery performance in mind.
