DESCRIPTION:Antennas are normally made of metal in order to achieve high ra
 diation efficiency.\n\nUnlike metal antennas\, liquid antennas are a new t
 ype of antenna that has some unique features and gained a lot of attention
  recently. The University of Liverpool has been working in this area for m
 any years. In this talk\, the advantages\, disadvantages\, and challenges 
 of using such a liquid antenna for real work applications will be discusse
 d at the beginning\, and then it will be followed by the latest developmen
 t on the liquid material and the liquid antenna designs and development. A
  new concept of using gravity in making liquid antennas for beam-steering 
 and GPS applications will be used as an example in this talk. Other antenn
 as\, such as a hybrid antenna of the dielectric resonant antenna (DRA) and
  magneto-electronic (ME) dipole will also be introduced and discussed. The
  talk will be finished with the introduction of a new design that is suita
 ble for antenna diversity and MIMO applications.\n\nSome relevant activiti
 es at the High-Frequency Engineering Group at the University of Liverpool 
 will also be introduced briefly.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Sataracom Montreal\n\
