  • Abstract
    A tunable amplifier using reconfigurable liquid-metal double-stub tuners is presented. The impedance tuners are implemented using liquid-metal slugs that are electrically actuated using continuous electrowetting. The amplifier can be configured to multiple frequency states from 3.37 to 6.02 GHz by adjusting the physical lengths of the liquid-metal double-stub tuners.
