摘要：
This paper presents a novel approach to realize 3D-printed flexible reconfigurable antennas, along with a proof-of-concept tunable bow-tie antenna inspired from Chinese origami fan. Stereolithography (SLA) printing, a low-cost high-performance additive manufacturing technique, is utilize to enable the easy fabrication of origami structure prototypes and the structure is metallized using a liquid metal alloy (LMA) to facilitate folding without breakages. The proposed bow-tie antenna features a frequency tuning range from 896 MHz to 992 MHz and bandwidth reconfigurability. This reconfigurable antenna can be applied to various dynamically changing scenarios such as wireless communications, collapsible/portable radars, wearable applications.
