Demo: Demonstration of Reconfigurable Metasurface for Wireless Communications

Abstract

Various promising technologies for 5G wireless communication systems, such as massive multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) have been deployed or are soon to be deployed around the globe. However, due to the high straight forwardness characteristic of ultra-high frequency range electromagnetic (EM) wave, the primary inevitable limitations are still existing. By adopting reconfigurable metasurface to ultra-high frequency range communication technologies, which are considered as a key technology for 5G communication network, we can overcome the tremendous amount of path loss and shaded communication areas. In this paper, we have developed a wireless communication system with 1- bit coding metasurface.
