AT LAST i want your opinion which is the best wireless microphone in this catageory.

ANSWER: True diversity or dual antenna diversity uses two antennas placed a few inches or centimeters apart and a circuit that can select the better of the two signals being received. They are much more powerful in avoiding drop-outs and dead spots. The single antenna is prone to drop-outs when the person carrying the wireless mike moves around.
PLL or Phase Lock Loop circuits are using an electric feedback systems that gives it the ability to track the received signal even if the frequency wanders or changes a little because of instability of the sending circuitry to be exactly on the right frequency. Also, when in motion the sending system may be velocity modulated and difficult to track by simple rf receiver. PLL aids in these cases.
I don't know what you mean by sml technology. Can you explain more?
For the AKG WMS40 system, please go to this web page:
http://www.akg.com/WMS40+MINI-840.html?pid=1398
where you can download PDF documents about its technology and applications.
I do not make equipment recommendations because there are too many subjective and application specific issues involved in making the right selection. But, I wish you the best and hope that your research will lead you to the right decision for you.
Have a wonderful day.

WMS40 MINI2
PROFESSIONAL PLUG&PLAY
WIRELESS SYSTEM
SMALL SIZE BIG SOUND
The WMS40 mini2 Sets ensure brilliant sound and ease of use at an unbeatable price/performance ratio.
Unique HDAP (High Definition Audio Performance) technology ensures the best possible, most realistic
sound at any time.
The SR40 mini2 receiver provides three status LEDs each for channels 1 and 2, indicating ON/OFF
status, received signal strength (RF OK), and audio clipping (AF CLIP). The VOLUME control sets the
level at the ¼" output jack. Each receiver comes with a universal 12-V switched mode power supply with
EU, UK, and US adapters. The illuminated ON/OFF button switches both channels on and off
simultaneously.
The PT40 mini bodypack is probably the smallest and lightest transmitter in its class. A reliable mini XLR
input allows you to connect every compatible AKG miniature microphone.
The rugged HT40 mini handheld transmitter features an ON/OFF/MUTE switch and a sturdy wire-mesh
cap protecting the cardioid dynamic microphone element. Battery life is the same legendary 30 hours off
a single AA battery as for the standard WMS40 models, reducing the need to replace batteries and thus
saving real money in the long run.

===========
Range is a function of the environment and location settings but they are designed for use in commercial spaces. For example, in Las Vegas nightclub shows they use them where the sound board and receiver is quite distant. In churches, schools, etc. probably 100 meters is too far but 20 to 30 meters is good - in my personal guesstimate.
Hope this will help you.
