Independent antenna, RF and radio‑systems engineering, from embedded designs inside the smallest consumer devices to 600‑kW broadcast installations.
A network of qualified associates adds complementary expertise in mechanical design, electronics and embedded software whenever a project requires it.
Embedded antennas, base‑station systems, propagation and the full RF platform that sits around them.
Independent technical evidence and EMF‑safety advice in the UK and overseas for more than two decades.
For SMEs in technical markets, investors conducting due diligence, and engineering teams that need to upskill.
Scope runs from the very large and high‑power to the very small and subtle. A handful of representative engagements:
Design and commissioning of a high‑power MF broadcast radiator. Part of a long‑running practice in LF/MF antenna systems from 100 W to 600 kW.
Installation, commissioning and on‑site measurement of transmitter and antenna systems, from 100‑W test beds to 600‑kW installations.
Bespoke wireless and NFC antennas for Senceive's compact tilt and movement sensors, used worldwide to monitor rail, bridges and heritage structures.
Antenna subsystem for a wrist‑worn cellular device; one of many electrically‑small designs delivered for watches, wearables and trackers.
Antenna siting, mast design review and commissioning for broadcast, communications and radar installations worldwide.
On‑site measurement and design of an antenna for a rumen‑sited biometric sensor. Memorable; also a useful illustration of how far the practice stretches.
I'm a chartered engineer, Fellow of the IET and Senior Member of the IEEE. I led the engineering team at CSA Ltd (broadcasting, communications and military antennas) before setting up my own consultancy in 2002, incorporated as BSC Associates Ltd in 2003. Alongside the consultancy I worked with Antenova Ltd, first as a consultant and then part‑time as Chief Applications Engineer, designing small antennas for handsets, payment terminals and GPS trackers.
Today I advise clients worldwide, chair the Antenna Interface Standards Group and hold an honorary professorship at Queen Mary University of London, where I consult on the University's space‑based solar power programme.
Embedded and handset antennas, base stations, HF arrays, broadcasting, materials and measurement, space‑based solar power. Most papers can be read in full on this site.
Whether it's a product you can't get to pass, a base‑station siting issue, or a technical due‑diligence exercise, a short conversation is usually enough to judge whether I can help.
