Abstract
This article presents the development of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) aimed at enhancing 6G indoor communication. The unit-cell design incorporates a circular reflecting element, enhanced with circular rings and a clover-diamond slot. Constructive interference is achieved with a phase tolerance of ±20° within the 11.8–14.37-GHz band, ensuring optimal signal reflection under normal incidence. Directivity is recorded as 19.72 dB, which proves that the proposed IRS has a wide bandwidth. Maximum sidelobe level is found to be −27.28 dB. Specific absorption rate (SAR), recorded for the first time, is found to be 0.139 W/kg for 1-g tissue, which complies with the IEEE standard and makes it suitable for use in indoor applications.
