abstract = "The integration of compliant mechanisms with reconfigurable electromagnetics has the potential to greatly influence the next-generation of metamaterial and reconfigurable antenna systems. With the limitations of current reconfigurable technologies when deployed into harsh environments, compliant mechanisms can expand the available design space and provide robust solutions specifically targeted for ruggedization. This paper presents a compliant mechanism enabled dielectric rod antenna design that offers the ability to allow steering without a complex feeding network as well as being designed to withstand harsh environments. The aim is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution in delivering reliable performance under challenging conditions.",
