Center for Physically Reconfigurable and Deployable Multifunctional Antennas

Abstract

The proposed Center for Physically Reconfigurable and Deployable Multifunctional Antennas aims to create a disruptive class of antennas and Radio Frequency (RF) devices that can morph their shape and adapt their performance subject to prescribed or pre-selected criteria in a repeatable and predictable manner across defined timescales. These capabilities are expected to transform next-generation 1) Deployable and adaptable antennas for small vehicle applications, including reconnaissance vehicles, unmanned aerial structures, small satellites and cubesats; 2) Compact, collapsible, reconfigurable and wearable antennas and arrays that will increase the agility and mobility of ground personnel by reducing weight, footprint, and number of antennas.
