The liquid crystal antenna is a type of antenna that utilizes liquid crystal materials to change its electronic properties and, consequently, its operating properties such as frequency, polarization, and radiation pattern. The functionality of a liquid crystal antenna hinges primarily on the variable electromagnetic attributes of liquid crystals. Liquid crystal antennas are widely applied in sectors such as telecommunications, defense, consumer electronics, and satellite communication. Their end-use includes devices such as smartphones, radars, WiFi routers, satellites, and televisions. The unique properties of liquid crystal materials make these antennas highly adaptable to different wireless connectivity systems, providing flexibility and efficiency to the end-users. Increasing demand for wireless connectivity and the growing adoption of IoT devices are elevating the demand for liquid crystal antennas. Furthermore, the rapid shift towards 5G technology, owing to the increased need for high-speed and reliable wireless communication, creates a platform for market growth. High costs associated with the implementation and maintenance and technical constraints such as alignment issues of liquid crystal molecules and temperature effects hamper market growth. Continuous advancements by market vendors to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and increase the range and bandwidth of antennas are expected to create opportunities for market growth.
Type: Expanding usage of metasurface-based antenna to boost wireless infrastructure’s capabilities
An electronically steered phased array antenna (ESPAA) is an advanced technology device that operates by manipulating the phase of each individual antenna within an array, thereby steering the direction of the radiated beam electronically. ESPAA are preferred in applications where it is necessary to have both a wide coverage area and high-speed concurrent connections. These applications include radar systems, satellite communications, and 5G networks. ESPAA can precisely shape and direct radio waves toward targeted users by feeding and controlling many antenna elements in real-time, resulting in maximized spectral efficiency. The metasurface-based antenna is a groundbreaking technology that employs artificially structured surfaces, known as metasurfaces, to manipulate electromagnetic waves. They can uniquely alter the phase, amplitude, and polarization of incident waves, enabling advanced beamforming capabilities. Metasurface-based antennas are sought in scenarios where there is a need for highly efficient, customizable, and conformal antennas that can be tailored to specific applications without changing their physical dimensions. There is a growing need for such antennas in wireless communication systems, especially in modern 5G and IoT applications where high performance and compact design are of paramount importance.
Application: Rising usage of liquid crystal antennas in consumer electronics due to its ability to support multi-bandwidth functionality
Liquid crystal antennas (LCAs) are in huge demand within the automotive sector, especially for real-time data transmission in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. LCA plays a pivotal role in enhancing vehicle connectivity in the automotive field. By utilizing LCA technology for V2X communication, vehicles can seamlessly interact with other vehicles, traffic management systems, and infrastructures in real-time. LCAs have found ubiquitous applications in consumer electronics; they significantly boost the performance of devices, including smartphones, laptops, and home appliances. LCAs provide enhanced broadband capabilities to devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and routers, improving network capacity, data rate, coverage area, and reliability. The healthcare sector is adopting LCAs extensively for advanced monitoring and diagnostic equipment to cater to biomedical devices’ high precision and reliability requirements. Devices equipped with LCAs can offer reliable and continuous patient monitoring, leading to timely diagnostics and improved healthcare outcomes. Also, LCAs have opened new possibilities for wearable health devices as they can be made flexible enough to fit within the design constraints of wearable technologies. The telecommunication industry is the bedrock of LCA applications, and the antennas’ superior signal reception and transmission are key to effective communication.
