An Electrical Frequency Agile Patch Antenna Based on a Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) Thin Film

A novel scheme of an electrically tunable microstrip patch antenna using an electroactive polymer Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) thin film as a part of substrate is presented. The suited plus DC power supply is produced and applied to adjust the permittivity of the Poly(vinylidene fluor...
