Abstract EN
A tunable liquid-metal antenna demonstrating gain reconfigurability is presented.
This antenna uses a reconfigurable stub made with the liquid metal Galinstan.
Using continuous electrowetting, a 60 Hz signal with an amplitude of 1 Vpp and 75% duty cycle can actuate the Galinstan continuously along a channel, tuning the stub length and antenna gain.
Zero external power is required to maintain the position of the slug.
The 5 GHz antenna offers more than 10 dB of analog gain tuning, from −5.90 to 4.43 dB.
