  • Microfluidic beam scanning focal plane arrays
    Patent number: 10454166
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a beam scanning antenna includes a lens having a focal surface and a microfluidic beam scanning focal plane array associated with the focal surface, the array including: an elongated microfluidic channel that contains an electrically conductive antenna element suspended within a dielectric fluid that is provided within the channel, the channel including multiple microfluidic chambers that are positioned at discrete locations along a length of the channel, wherein the antenna element can be selectively positioned within selected chambers, and means for moving the position of the antenna element along the channel to change a direction along which electromagnetic waves are transmitted or received.
