Original Abstract Submitted
a radio includes a liquid crystal (lc) phase shift layer including lc pixels. a path length of each lc pixel varies as a function of a voltage applied across the lc pixel. the radio further includes one or more planar antennae. each of the one or more planar antennae is arranged to at least one of receive or transmit radio signals through the lc phase shift layer. the radio further includes an active matrix transistor array. each transistor of the active matrix transistor array is configured to control a corresponding voltage across a storage capacitor. each storage capacitor is connected across a respective lc pixel. the radio further includes a radio frequency transceiver circuit connected to the one or more planar antennae and a controller to perform beamforming of radio signals by controlling the active matrix transistor array to set the path length for each of the lc pixels.
