planar strip monopole with a chip capacitor loaded loop radiating feed for lte wwan slim Mobile Phone Application
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2011Co-Authors: Shuchuan Chen, Kin-lu WongAbstract:A small-size wideband internal Mobile Phone antenna formed by a planar strip monopole with a chip-capacitor-loaded loop radiating feed for achieving eight-band long term evolution/wireless wide area network operation in the 698–960 and 1710–2690 MHz bands is presented. The antenna is suitable to be disposed on a small no-ground board space (15 × 45 mm2) of the system circuit board and enclosed by an L-shaped system ground plane of the Mobile Phone. On the protruded ground of the L-shaped system ground plane, a universal series bus connector for the data port of the Mobile Phone can be accommodated without affecting the antenna performances. The antenna also shows a low profile of 3 mm above the circuit board, which makes it very promising for slim Mobile Phone Applications. The proposed antenna was fabricated and tested. Measured and simulated results are presented. The specific absorption rate results of the antenna are also analyzed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

small size printed monopole with a printed distributed inductor for pentaband wwan Mobile Phone Application
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2009Co-Authors: Chihhua Chang, Kin-lu WongAbstract:In this article, a small-size printed monopole embedded with a printed narrow strip as a distributed inductor for Application in the Mobile Phone to achieve GSM850/900/1800/1900/UMTS pentaband wireless wide area network operation is presented. With the printed distributed inductor, the fundamental (lowest) resonant mode of the proposed antenna can be effectively shifted to lower frequencies with a wide operating bandwidth, owing to the contributed inductance of the printed distributed inductor compensating for the increased capacitance resulting from the decreased resonant length of the monopole. In this study, the proposed antenna can be printed on the small no-ground portion of size 14 × 40 mm2 on the main circuit board of the Mobile Phone, making it easy to fabricate at low cost and generally showing no thickness above the circuit board; the latter is very attractive for thin-profile Mobile Phone Applications. The proposed monopole antenna is studied in detail in this article. The results also show that the antenna is very suitable to be placed at the bottom of the Mobile Phone; in this case, the antenna meets the specific absorption rate limit for practical Applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

simple folded monopole slot antenna for penta band clamshell Mobile Phone Application
IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2009Co-Authors: Fanghsien Chu, Kin-lu WongAbstract:An internal clamshell Mobile Phone antenna using a simple dual-band folded monopole slot for covering penta bands of WWAN operation is presented. The folded monopole slot has a length of about 60 mm only and is easily printed on the top portion (10 times 40 mm2) of the main circuit board and suitable to be placed at the hinge of the clamshell Mobile Phone. By further placing the connecting strip between the two ground planes to be in the vicinity of the open end of the monopole slot, the two (main and upper) ground planes of the clamshell Mobile Phone can also be excited to be efficient radiators (dipole-like chassis or groundplane modes excited through the strong electric field occurred at the slot's open end). By incorporating the resonant modes contributed from both the monopole slot and the two ground planes, two wide bands at about 900 and 1900 MHz are formed, which easily cover GSM850/900/1800/1900/UMTS operation. Owing to the additional resonant modes contributed by the two ground planes, the use of a simple folded monopole slot is sufficient to cover penta-band WWAN operation. This leads to compact size for the proposed clamshell Mobile Phone antenna. Details of the proposed antenna, including its SAR results, are presented.

small size printed loop antenna for penta band thin profile Mobile Phone Application
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2009Co-Authors: Kin-lu Wong, Weiyu ChenAbstract:A planar printed loop antenna with a small area of 15 × 50 mm2 and capable of covering all five operating bands of GSM850/900/1800/1900/UMTS for WWAN (wireless wide area network) operation in the thin-profile Mobile Phone is presented. The antenna is very suitable to be directly printed on the system circuit board of the Mobile Phone, making it easy to fabricate at low cost and generally showing no thickness above the circuit board; the latter is very attractive for thin-profile Mobile Phone Applications. In addition, the proposed loop antenna is very suitable to be printed at the bottom position of the Mobile Phone; in this case the antenna meets the SAR (specific absorption rate) limit for practical Applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

coupled fed small size pifa for penta band folder type Mobile Phone Application
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2009Co-Authors: Chihhua Chang, Kin-lu Wong, Jeensheen RowAbstract:A small-size planar inverted-F antennas (PIFA) for penta-band operation in the folder-type Mobile Phone is presented. The PIFA occupies a small volume of 2.1 cm 3 only. Instead of using the con- ventional direct contact feed, the proposed PIFA uses a coupling feed, which allows the antenna in its open state or talk condition to generate a dual-resonance lower band of bandwidth 300 MHz (780 -1080 MHz, 3:1 VSWR or 6-dB return loss) to cover GSM850/900 operation. In ad- dition, the PIFA can also generate a very wide upper band of band- width 925 MHz (1368 -2293 MHz) to cover GSM1800/1900/UMTS oper- ation. When the Mobile Phone is in its close state or standby condition, the obtained lower and upper bands can still cover GSM850/900/1800/ 1900/UMTS penta-band operation with impedance matching better than 6:1 VSWR or 3-dB return loss, which is acceptable for the Mobile Phone in standby condition for practical Applications. Details of the proposed PIFA and the obtained results are presented. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

a Mobile Phone Application for the assessment and management of youth mental health problems in primary care health service outcomes from a randomised controlled trial of Mobiletype
BMC Family Practice, 2013Co-Authors: Sophie Reid, Sylvia Kauer, Stephen J C Hearps, Alexander Hew Dale Crooke, Angela S Khor, Lena Sanci, George C PattonAbstract:GPs detect at best 50c of mental health problems in young people. Barriers to detecting mental health problems include lack of screening tools, limited appointment times and young people’s reluctance to report mental health symptoms to GPs. The Mobiletype program is a Mobile Phone mental health assessment and management Application which monitors mood, stress and everyday activities then transmits this information to general practitioners (GPs) via a secure website in summary format for medical review. The current aims were to examine: (i) Mobiletype as a clinical assistance tool, ii) doctor-patient rapport and, iii) pathways to care. We conducted a randomised controlled trial in primary care with patients aged 14 to 24 years recruited from rural and metropolitan general practices. GPs identified and referred eligible participants (those with mild or more mental health concerns) who were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (where mood, stress and daily activities were monitored) or the attention-comparison group (where only daily activities were monitored). Both groups self-monitored for 2 to 4 weeks and reviewed the monitoring data with their GP. GPs, participants and researchers were blind to group allocation at randomisation. GPs assessed the Mobiletype program as a clinical assistant tool. Doctor-patient rapport was assessed using the General Practice Assessment Questionnaire Communication and Enablement subscales, and the Trust in Physician Scale (TPS). Pathways to care was measured using The Party Project’s Exit Interview. Of the 163 participants assessed for eligibility, 118 were randomised and 114 participants were included in analyses (intervention n = 68, attention-comparison n = 46). T-tests showed that the intervention program increased understanding of patient mental health, assisted in decisions about medication/referral and helped in diagnosis when compared to the attention-comparison program. Mixed model analysis showed no differences in GP-patient rapport nor in pathways to care. We conducted the first RCT of a Mobile Phone Application in the mental health assessment and management of youth mental health in primary care. This study suggests that Mobiletype has much to offer GPs in the often difficult and time-consuming task of assessment and management of youth mental health problems in primary care.

Australian Family Physician, 2012Co-Authors: Sophie Reid, Sylvia Kauer, Stephen J C Hearps, Angela S Khor, Lena Sanci, Andrew D Kennedy, George C PattonAbstract:Background: This study evaluates a Mobile Phone self monitoring tool designed to assist paediatricians in assessing and managing youth mental health. Methods: Patients from an adolescent outpatient clinic monitored mental health symptoms throughout each day for 2-4 weeks. Paediatricians specialising in adolescent health and participants reviewed the collated data displayed online and completed quantitative and qualitative feedback. Results: Forty-seven adolescents and six paediatricians participated. Completion was high, with 91% of entries completed in the first week. Paediatricians found the program helpful for 92% of the participants and understood 88% of their patients' functioning better. Participants reported the data reflected their actual experiences (88%) and was accurate (85%), helpful (65%) and assisted their paediatrician to understand them better (77%). Qualitative results supported these findings. Discussion: Self monitoring facilitates communication of mental health issues between these paediatricians and patients and is a promising tool for the assessment and management of mental health problems in young people.

coping daily hassles and behavior and emotional problems in adolescents with high functioning autism asperger s disorder
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014Co-Authors: Angela Stewart Khor, Sophie Reid, Glenn A Melvin, Kylie Megan GrayAbstract:Although daily hassles and coping are associated with behavior and emotional problems in non-clinical populations, few studies have investigated these relationships in individuals with high-functioning autism/Asperger’s Disorder (HFASD). This study examined the relationships between daily hassles, coping and behavior and emotional problems in adolescents with HFASD. Thirty-one adolescents with HFASD completed questionnaires assessing their coping and behavior and emotional problems, and completed an Ecological Momentary Assessment run via a Mobile Phone Application on their coping and daily hassles. Parents completed questionnaires of the adolescents’ daily hassles, coping, and behavior and emotional problems. The disengagement coping style was associated with significantly higher levels of behavior and emotional problems regardless of respondent or methodology, suggesting it may be a valuable target for intervention.
