This paper reviews the material properties, fabrication and functionalities of liquid metal-
based devices. In modern wireless communication technology, adaptability and versatility …

An in-line type X-band phase detector is presented in this letter. It is constructed by a power
combiner and a capacitive power sensor with clamped-clamped beam to obtain large …

We present the first analysis for the generated distortion of higher order modes of capacitive
RF MEMS switches in the open state. Distortion or IIP3 numbers are normally set …

This thesis presents the feasibility of liquid metal in reconfigurable antenna applications.
Unlike conventional reconfigurable antennas, liquid metal possesses the ability to …

Reconfigurable antennas and periodic structures with frequency, polarization, or pattern
agility, are multi-functional and adaptable to changing demands in wireless …

The lack of references on nonlinearity issue faced in reconfigurable antennas has motivated
the work described in this thesis. The nonlinear behaviour is caused by active switches …

This document provides a brief summary of the outcome of the project for which I was
awarded the 2014 IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowship Award. The main goal of the project …
