Abstract

Millimeter wave antenna; Beamsteering; Beamforming; Steerable antenna; Yagi-Uda antenna; Liquid metal; EGaIn; Reconfigurable antenna
For this first time this paper presents a concept for a high gain millimeter wave beam steerable antenna that supports continuous steering over a 360° scan range and promises to yield extremely low power losses. The concept does not require phase shifters which suffer from high insertion losses at millimeter wave frequencies or mechanical movement, in the conventional sense, which has the disadvantages of poor reliability and slow response times due to high inertia.
