Abstract
A reconfigurable electromagnetic antenna which comprises a radiating element consisting of a fluid substance that conducts electricity, the volume of the fluid substance being variable and that also comprises a matrix of electrodes on which the fluid substance is moved by electro-wetting.The properties of the antenna in frequency, polarization or even in radiation pattern evolve dynamically. The reconfiguration of the antenna in frequency, in polarization or in radiation pattern is continuous and reversible.
