Abstract
An antenna assembly may include a shape change antenna configured to transmit an electromagnetic wave or receive an electromagnetic wave. The shape change antenna may have an antenna shape and may be formed of a conductive shape memory material that physically moves in response to changes in a non-geometric characteristic. The antenna assembly may also include a shape change stimulator configured to change the non-geometric characteristic of the shape change antenna to cause the antenna shape to physically change between a first geometry and a second geometry.
