and the opportunity to use multiple antennas for better signal sourcing and multiple carrier support.
The ability to use multiple antennas could also prove useful for globetrotters if the phone can be equipped with a sufficiently flexible LTE radio to allow for a truly global device.
But in the former case, radar antennas are used as the electrically tunable element. So what the big deal here?
Wi-fi radio broadcasts are a form of energy that a simple antenna can pick up. Until now, Wi-fi receivers have all been designed to harvest the information that these broadcasts carry.

The scientists created the tunable antenna by using electrochemical reactions to shorten and elongate a filament of liquid metal and change the antenna operating frequency.
Applying a small positive voltage causes the metal to flow into a capillary, while applying a small negative voltage makes the metal withdraw from the capillary. he positive voltage electrochemically deposits an oxide on the surface of the metal that lowers the surface tension,
Although antenna properties can be reconfigured to some extent by using solid conductors with electronic switches
