title = "Metamaterial Phase-Shifter Utilizing a Compliant Mechanism Approach",
abstract = "A new metamaterial unit-cell design for reflectarray antennas (RA) that integrates an electromechanical reconfigurable metamaterial technology with a rugged compliant mechanism topology is presented. The proposed unit-cell design uses a compliant mechanism that achieves motion through a custom single-leaf spring compliant revolute iris to guide two shorting pins along the bottom surface of a circular patch element. The proposed design is actuated by a stepper motor for ease of control implementation and is safely positioned below the ground plane to shield against incident electric fields and minimize electromagnetic interference. The performance of the unit-cell in a full reflectarray configuration has been approximated through simulations, showing its potential for beam steering and high-power operation.",
