Abstract
A novel concept for implementation of smart antennas is introduced. Deformable smart materials, as parasitic elements to alter the antenna pattern, are demonstrated. Such a reconfiguration can be used for improved spectral efficiency through diversity-type techniques. The approach effectively allows replacement of much RF circuitry and the signal processing modules present in a conventional array, by simple, low-cost, low power, smart materials. A basic, proof-of-concept prototype comprising a radiating monopole and a deformable conductive strip made of ionic polymeric–metal composite is presented. The deformable conductive strip has a voltage-controlled slant angle and its close proximity to the monopole reconfigures the pattern. Physical measurements verify the operation of the antenna. The impedance matching is also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
