Abstract

Liquid‐metal pixels are used to demonstrate a frequency‐tunable dipole antenna that can be reconfigured for horizontal or vertical polarisation. Each dipole consists of 14 pixels, each of which can be electrically actuated with the liquid metal Galinstan to achieve different antenna states.
