Origami-Inspired Phased Arrays Are Reshaping the Future of Antennas

The linked article is about a novel approach to designing phased array antennas using origami-inspired techniques. Researchers have developed a reconfigurable antenna that can change its shape and beam direction by folding and unfolding its origami-inspired structure. This technique offers advantages over traditional phased arrays, such as reduced weight, complexity, and cost, making it promising for applications like satellite communications, radar, and 5G networks.
