摘要: Antennas ( 100, 1000, 1600, 1800, 1900 ) or other radio frequency components that include an electrically configurable anisotropic element 112, 1502, 1608, 1806 are provided. According to certain embodiments the electrical 1806, 1904, 1906, 1918, 1920, 1922 includes a material 202, 1912, 1924 including carbon nanotubes conductive nano-tubes nano-wires 208 dispersed in liquid crystal medium with can be aligned by applied field.
