- Additional information
- The recently reported use of liquid crystals for creating electronically tunable mm wave devices and reconfigurable antennas is a major technological breakthrough because very few alternative solutions are available above 100 GHz. This paper presents a rigorous means for extracting the electrical parameters of the material at microwave frequencies. Thereby removing the need for costly and lengthy manufacturing iterations. The work was done as a direct output of a partnership with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and University of Seville, and was funded by the European Space Agency and Merck KGaA, Germany.
