Abstract
In this paper, the impact of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) on the propagation characteristics is analyzed from the arguments of the physical and electromagnetic characteristics of the channel. Analytical expressions for free-space pathloss are derived based on the terahertz multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model in different communication scenarios. This calculation method is broadly applicable and is used to characterize pathloss as a function of the configuration of our system model. Numerical results show that setting the phase matrix of IRS based only on the angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) can significantly reduce the pathloss when the far-field condition is met. However, when the distance between the transceiver and the IRS is the same order of magnitude or less than the side length of the IRS, both direction and distance information are required to configure the IRS. This model provides an insightful consideration in the design of IRS-assisted wireless system.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering provides a common forum for the dissemination of research and development results in the areas of computer-aided design and engineering of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components, circuits, subsystems, and antennas. The journal is intended to be a single source of valuable information for all engineers and technicians, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD tool vendors, researchers in industry, government and academia, professors and students, and systems engineers involved in RF/microwave/mm-wave technology.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and short papers on topics that include, but are not limited to. . .
-Computer-Aided Modeling
-Computer-Aided Analysis
-Computer-Aided Optimization
-Software and Manufacturing Techniques
-Computer-Aided Measurements
-Measurements Interfaced with CAD Systems
In addition, the scope of the journal includes features such as software reviews, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD related news, including brief reviews of CAD papers published elsewhere and a "Letters to the Editor" section.
