However, a requirement of pumps, valves, etc. for liquid transportation makes the antenna implementations rather impractical for the real-life scenarios. This work reports on the theoretical calculations and experiments conducted to evaluate the electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) driven digital microfluidics as a reconfiguration mechanism for antennas and RF circuits. © 2014 European Association on Antennas and Propagation.EnglishElectrowettingLiquid metalMicrofluidicReconfigurable antennaAntennasLiquid metalsMicrofluidicsWettingElectro wettingElectrowetting on dielectricsLiquid transportationReconfigurable antennaReconfiguration mechanismsRF-circuitsTheoretical calculationsDigital microfluidicsDigital microfluidics for reconfigurable antennasConference Paper10.1109/EuCAP.2014.6901709
