Abstract
Paper-based electronics offer a simple and cost-effective means to fabricate reconfigurable devices.In response to the problem of fixed shape and single function of most antennas,which limits their applications,a reconfigurable paper-based metamaterial antenna with 2D and 3D forms is presented for tunable operating frequency.The proposed antenna consists of two square split resonant rings fed by a coplanar waveguide.The working frequency of the 2D antenna is adjusted by the length,width,and opening size of the internal open resonant ring.While the folding angle of the antenna turns from 0° to 90°,the operating frequency of the paper-based metamaterial antenna changes from 2.759 to 4.223 GHz.In terms of 3D form,an additional resonant peak is generated by bending the paper-based metamaterial antenna,thus further realizing dual-band antenna design.After a simple process flow,a series of proposed antennas are fabricated and evaluated.The simulated and measured results both demonstrate that the proposed antenna has a good performance in turning the working band.The environment-friendly nature and pliability of paper,as well as simple fabrication procedures,make paper-based metamaterial promising candidates for future green electronics.
