This paper is dedicated to Professor Jim James. It is a celebration of his life, career and world renowned research contribution to the engineering community. Jim was eminent for his pioneering research contributions to the fundamental understanding of radiation mechanisms in printed patch and small antennas including seminal achievements, both theoretical and in terms of demonstrated practical applications, in communications, radar and medical electronics. The paper includes a brief summary of his research. Details will also be included on some of his latest work involving low SAR material coated mobile handset antennas. 1 Introduction Professor J. R. James – mathematician, engineer, teacher and an outstanding researcher in the field of high frequency electromagnetic radiation problems, died peacefully on Monday 24 July 2006 after a struggle with cancer, at age 73. Professor Jim James was born in 1933 on the Isle of White, in the UK and was educated at London University obtaining the degrees; BSc (Special Maths 1965), PhD (1968) and the DSc (1980). As well as serving his national service and a period of industrial work on radar at E. K. Cole of Malmsbury, Wiltshire, Jim worked as an analytical chemist, a physicist on a neutron project at the Harwell nuclear accelerator and as a transistor application designer. In 1967, Jim joined academia at the Royal Military College of Science (RMCS) at Cranfield University. He was made a Special Merit Professor (1976–84) and then Professor of Electromagnetic Systems (1984-98) and was Head of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He created and directed the Wolfson RF Engineering Centre specialising in both defence-oriented and industrial research on printed antenna technology, size reduced antennas, millimetric radiators for guided weapons, stealth radar coatings and waves in composite materials, speech processing, electromagnetic heating in medical engineering and optical systems. His contributions were recognised by two Individual Special Merit Award promotions. This research led to numerous patents and some 200 refereed publications despite much of his work being classified. These papers received 9 IEE awards. Jim also supervised 25 successful doctoral students. He was the Editor of Research Studies Press (RSP) International Research Monographs on antennas and electromagnetics and has also contributed seven major books with international experts including the classic texts on the subject of microstrip antennas and arrays;
