The shape of an antenna’s front end dictates many of its operating parameters. Once it’s manufactured, those characteristics are locked in. A shape-changing antenna would enable communications across ...

MIT researchers have developed an antenna that can adjust its frequency range by physically changing its shape. This newly designed reconfigurable antenna device has been dubbed “meta-antenna.” ...

How a special nitinol compound and 3D printing was used to create the shape-shifting antenna. An overview of materials and heating problems they encountered, and how they overcame them. The test ...

Today, miniaturized devices require the use of antennas that are smaller than their wavelength. Wide bandwidth microstrip antennas get a lot of interest from designers due to their flexibility and ...

The shift to wireless communication using ever-smaller devices has necessitated the need for smaller and smaller antennas. Thankfully, the days of extendable antennas on mobile phones are a thing of ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have designed a reconfigurable antenna that can dynamically adjust its frequency range by physically changing shape, offering a more flexible ...
