abstract = "In this paper, a distilled water antenna with pattern-reconfigurable characteristics based on the Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a water source antenna, a two-layer water partially reflective surface (WPRS) and a water ground plane (WGP). An FPC is constructed between WPRS and WGP to increase antenna directivity. Periodic air lattices are embedded in the top layer of WPRS to adjust the reflection coefficient of WPRS. By injecting distilled water into different WPRS layers, three working states of wide-beam, pencil-beam and bi-directional pencil-beam are obtained. The simulations verify the design, showing that the pattern reconfiguration is achieved successfully. The peak gain reaches 10.66 dBi. The proposed method has unique features of flexible pattern reconfiguration, high-gain, low-cost and optically transparent.",
