(a) Illustration of the proposed reconfigurable porous surface with conductive fluid metal filled at selected cavities and its working mechanism of dynamically creating propagation pathways. The corresponding simulation results for (b) the straight pathway in non-guided and guided models with a propagation distance d of \(100\,\textrm{mm}\) and (c) the distribution pathway at \(26\,\textrm{GHz}\) as well as (d) its surface model where the sampling points, 1–4, \(\textrm{U}5\)–\(\textrm{U}8\) and \(\textrm{D}5\)–\(\textrm{D}8\), of a \(10\,\textrm{mm}\) interval are added along the distribution pathway with a reconfigurable T-junction.
