Abstract
A stretchable liquid metal coaxial phase shifter comprising opposingly located attachment disks which are attached to opposingly located shield interface rings which are open ended cylinders defining an interior space and exterior surface.
Claims18
A stretchable liquid metal coaxial phase shifter comprising:
- a liquid metal center conductor, said liquid metal center conductor encased within a first stretchable polymer layer which insulates said a liquid metal center conductor;
- a liquid metal shield, said a liquid metal shield encases said first stretchable polymer layer;
- a second stretchable polymer layer, said second stretchable polymer layer surrounds and encases said liquid metal shield;
- and wherein said phase shifter is adapted to stretch from a first length having a first phase to a second length having a second phase, said second length is longer than said first length and said first phase is different than said second phase.
