A Reconfigurable Patch Antenna Using Liquid Metal Embedded in a Silicone Substrate
TL;DR: In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is implemented using a stretchable silicone TC5005 substrate, which is fabricated by injecting liquid metal alloy Galinstan into a square reservoir fabricated in the silicone elastomer substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconfigurable Axial-Mode Helix Antennas Using Shape Memory Alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, a shape memory alloy spring actuator is used to adjust the height of a helix antenna with the total length of the helix wire fixed, the pitch spacing and pitch angle are varied as the height is varied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern reconfigurable square ring patch antenna actuated by hemispherical dielectric elastomer
TL;DR: In this paper, a pattern reconfigurable square ring patch antenna comprising a movable parasitic plate within the ring patch is presented, actuated using a hemispherical dielectric elastomer actuator.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mid-range wireless energy transfer using inductive resonance for wireless sensors
TL;DR: Methods are suggested and tested to measure and optimize the wireless energy transfer efficiency for mid-range inductive coils with relatively low profile using magnetic resonance, showing that by tuning to the optimum resonant frequency and designing proper matching circuitry, an efficiency of about 25% for moderate profiles can be achieved.

Partially Transparent Antenna
TL;DR: In this paper, a partially-transparent antenna is described that may be utilized to wirelessly transmit or receive data, and the antenna is formed from a material that is at least partially transparent.
