Abstract
This letter proposes an ultrawideband 1-bit suspended reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) designed to enhance the signal coverage of wireless communication networks. The RIS unit cell comprises two metal gratings connected via a PIN diode, a dielectric-air-dielectric interlayer, and a metal reflective layer. The RIS achieves a stable reflection phase difference of 180° ± 30° between the
on
and
off
states of the PIN diode within the ultrawideband range of 2.75 GHz to 6 GHz. This range includes the 3.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz bands for 5G communication, the 5.2 GHz band for indoor wireless communication, and the 5.8 GHz band for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. A prototype, consisting of 20 × 20 unit cells, was fabricated and measured, demonstrating two-dimensional wide-angle beam scanning of ± 60° within the working frequency range. Furthermore, a RIS-assisted wireless communication system was constructed, confirming that deploying RIS can significantly enhance communication quality in targeted areas by transmitting and receiving image information at different frequencies. The proposed RIS holds substantial potential for RIS-assisted wireless communication systems.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
