The new mode combination is found to provide a small height-to-radius ratio of ~0.14, which is well suited for the low-profile design. In order to simultaneously expand the bandwidth of these two modes, an air ring covering the strong E-field regions of both modes is introduced into the lower portion of the cylindrical DRA.

To address interference issues with co-existing narrowband systems, two inverse L-shaped stubs are connected to the ground plane, effectively rejecting the WiMAX spectrum. In addition, two circle-like ring slots are embedded into the radiation patch to create band-rejected features for WLAN and X-band downlink frequencies.

The pattern reconfigurable structure is achieved by a pair of 3-D-printed arc-shaped parasitic metal panels, which are capable of high-gain beam scanning with ±24° in the H-plane and ±18° in the E-plane radiation, respectively, without the electrical controlling components. Moreover, by arranging the arc-shaped parasitic metal panels symmetrically, the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of the antenna can be adjusted from 48° to 79°.

The measured overlap-operating frequency band and maximum gain of the antenna with different radiation states are 2.17–2.72 GHz (fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 22.49%) and 10.42 dBi, respectively.

Our proofs follow a mathematically relaxed style, borrowing from the literature of established electromagnetics textbooks that study the matter from an engineering perspective. Through this simpler route, we deduce clear and intuitive material-response requirements for uniqueness to hold, while using a familiar parlance in a topic that is mostly studied through a physics perspective.

In practice, however, the “double fading” effect undermines the application of RISs and constitutes a significant challenge to its commercialization. To address this problem, we present a novel 2-bit programmable amplifying transmissive RIS with a power amplification function to enhance the transmission of electromagnetic (EM) signals. The transmissive function is achieved through a pair of radiation patches located on the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, while a microstrip line connects two patches. A power amplifier, an SP4T switch, and a directional coupler provide signal amplification and a 2-bit phase shift. To characterize the signal enhancement of active transmissive RISs, we propose a dual radar cross section (RCS)-based path loss model to predict the power of the received signal for active transmissive RIS-aided wireless communication systems. Simulation and experimental results verify the reliability of the RIS design, and the proposed path loss model is validated by measurements. Compared with the traditional passive RIS, the signal power gain in this design achieves 11.9 dB.","PeriodicalId":13102,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"72 12","pages":"9239-9250"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
