Indeed, recent trends indicate that the inventory of objects comprising our modern day Internet of Things will become ever more populated, so that proper interfacing will require device adaptability in order to provide efficient information transfer and communication. Otherwise, a crowding of the usable frequencies will quickly make such technologies intolerable. In addition, the variety of wearable sensors and other flexible electronics will demand flexible components which are preferably reconfigurable in order to supply the necessary frequency response or radiation pattern dictated by the specific application. Particularly in wearable technologies, we see a strong need to minimize the amount of circuitry and active device size, simply due to conventional clothing standards and physical conformability. In this respect, the two available options are to physically shrink the size of the components, or else to make the most efficient use of the least amount of space by allowing reconfiguration of the device functionality. It is the latter method which is pursued in this work. 2016-06-09 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1459437829 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1459437829 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
