Abstract

A liquid metal-based physically flexible (stretchable, bendable, twistable, and foldable) thickness customized multi-layer second-order band-pass metasurface in the X-band (7 ~ 11.2 GHz) has been designed, fabricated, and characterized. The multi-layer metasurface consists of a liquid metal-based inverter layer in the middle to enable the metasurface extremely thin (total thickness of 4.81 mm, < λ0/7.5). Liquid metal has been sprayed into the PDMS replicated patterns by using an airbrush operating at 36 psi. S-parameters of the metasurface sample measured using a WR-90 waveguide setup showed good agreement with simulated results.
