Origami-Inspired Phased Arrays Are Reshaping the Future of Antennas

Folding antennas into different shapes to create near infinite radiation patterns.

In fact, radio astronomers continue to build big parabolic disheson train tracks and move them about to make various configurations in order to receive faint signals from space. [1] H. A. Jamal, C. Hu, N. Wille, K. Zeng and M. M. Tentzeris, "Beyond Planar: An Additively Manufactured, Origami-Inspired Shape-Changing, and RFIC-Based Phased Array for Near-Limitless Radiation Pattern Reconfigurability in 5G/mm-Wave Applications," in IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters, vol. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is involved in utilizing additive manufacturing techniques to design highly integrated, conformal, and morphing RF front-end circuits, antennas, and packaging up to mm-wave frequencies.
