摘要: This paper presents a frequency-tunable slot antenna which uses liquid metal to vary the electrical length of radiating aperture. The is driven by continuous electrowetting (CEW), process motion induced in liquid-metal droplet through application potential gradient across an electrolytic carrier fluid. both fully reversible and repeatable, low-voltage driving mechanism allows for simpler integration into electronic architectures than more common hydraulic methods. We believe this first instance CEW being used create tunable RF device.
