Dipole- and loop-mode switchable origami paper antenna

초록

A pattern-switchable origami antenna is designed with paper using inkjet-printing technology. The proposed antenna can be switched between loop and dipole antenna modes by folding and unfolding the paper, respectively. Eutectic gallium-indium liquid metal is introduced in order to avoid cracks in the conductive ink when the paper is folded. The performance of the proposed antenna is demonstrated through simulation and measurement results. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:668-672, 2016
