Abstract
Disclosed herein is an impact recoverable antenna assembly. The antenna assembly includes, in certain examples, a conductive antenna element that is deformable from a default configuration to a deformed configuration in response to a deformation event. The conductive antenna element includes a first layer and a second layer that at least partially surrounds the first layer. In certain examples, one of the first layer or the second layer comprises a shape memory alloy configured to deform the conductive antenna element from the deformed configuration to the default configuration in response to a restoration event.
