摘要

提出了一种采用电驱动液态金属调谐元件的可重构天线设计方案。液态金属段塞改变谐振槽孔径的电长度，在36%的可调带宽内改变天线的工作频率。流体通道由聚二甲基硅氧烷制成，并与集成的直流驱动垫完全密封，比以前的设计提供了更强的多功能性，并使未来的小型化成为可能。

Reconfigurable liquid-metal antenna with integrated surface-tension actuation

A new design for a reconfigurable antenna using electrically actuated liquid-metal tuning elements is presented. Liquid-metal slugs vary the electrical length of a resonant slot aperture, changing the operational frequency of the antenna across a 36% tunable bandwidth. The fluidic channels are fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane and are fully sealed with integrated DC actuation pads, providing enhanced versatility over previous designs and enabling future miniaturization.
