We are thrilled to share that our latest paper, “𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙡𝙪𝙞𝙙 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙒𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣, 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝘼𝙡𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙢, 𝙁𝙖𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩,” has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications.

This work is the result of a collaborative effort between the KAUST IMPACTS Lab and the Information Science Lab, with amazing co-authors: Ruiqi Wang; Pinjun Zheng; Vijith Varma Kotte; Sakandar Rauf; Yiming Yang; Muhammad Mahboob Ur Rahman; Tareq Al-Naffouri; Atif Shamim.

In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of a novel communication transceiver architecture named the Electromagnetically Reconfigurable Fluid Antenna System (ER-FAS). Using liquid metal, each FAS array element achieves electromagnetic reconfigurability, allowing its radiation pattern to dynamically adapt without any physical movement or rotation.

Our work covers the full spectrum from antenna design, wireless channel modeling, and configuration optimization algorithms to prototype fabrication and real-world experiments. SDR-based measurements in indoor environments demonstrate that the proposed ER-FAS can considerably reduce communication bit error rates compared to static horn antennas.
