Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2139066A1] The antenna has a radiating element comprised of a fluid substance (F) that conducts electricity, where the volume of the fluid substance is variable. The fluid substance moves by electro-wetting on a matrix (M) of electrodes (E), where the fluid substance takes a form of one drop. A reservoir containing the fluid substance is capable of releasing or recovering a portion of the fluid substance. The portion of the fluid substance is moved from the reservoir to the electrode matrix or vice versa by electro-wetting along a channel of electrodes. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a reconfigurable electromagnetic antenna.
