Microfluidically Frequency-Reconfigurable Compact Self-Quadruplexing Tunable Antenna with High Isolation Based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide
PublicationThis communication presents a novel concept of microfluidically frequency-reconfigurable self-quadruplexing tunable antenna for quad-band applications. At the initial design stage, a substrate-integrated square cavity is divided into four unequal quarter-mode cavity resonators by inserting an X-shaped slot on the top surface of the cavity. Applying four 50-ohm microstrip feed-lines to these four quarter-mode cavity resonators enables...
