Summary
摘要
This chapter summarizes the content of the book, including a comprehensive overview of origami antenna technology, from fundamental principles to practical applications. We discuss how folding and unfolding of origami structures can overcome the fixed operating characteristics of traditional antennas to design frequency-, pattern-, and polarization-reconfigurable antennas to handle the dynamic and evolving demands of modern communication systems. We also overview various deployable origami antennas which have emerged as a transformative solution, offering a lightweight, low-cost, and rapidly deployable alternative in harsh environments. We underscore the significant potential for further applications of origami antennas through continuous research and development initiatives.
