RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACE FORMING MULTIPLE RESONANCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18154604 titled 'RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACE FORMING MULTIPLE RESONANCES
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a communication system that supports higher data rates than a 4G system, such as LTE. The system includes a unit cell of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) that consists of conductive structures and a switch circuit. When a first RF signal from an external device is incident on the unit cell, it reflects a second RF signal with a first resonance frequency based on electrical paths formed in the first and third elements, and a third RF signal with a second resonance frequency different from the first resonance frequency based on electrical paths formed in the second and fourth elements.
- The patent application describes a communication system for 5G or 6G networks that surpasses the data rates of 4G systems like LTE.
- The system includes a unit cell of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) that is made up of conductive structures and a switch circuit.
- When a first RF signal is received from an external device, the unit cell reflects a second RF signal with a first resonance frequency and a third RF signal with a second resonance frequency.
- The first and third elements of the unit cell form electrical paths that determine the resonance frequency of the second reflected signal.
- The second and fourth elements of the unit cell form electrical paths that determine the resonance frequency of the third reflected signal.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in 5G or 6G communication systems to support higher data rates.
- It can enhance the performance of wireless networks by improving signal reflection and resonance frequencies.
Problems Solved:
- The technology addresses the need for higher data rates in communication systems beyond 4G.
- It solves the problem of limited capacity and slower speeds in existing LTE networks.
Benefits:
- The system enables faster and more efficient communication by supporting higher data rates.
- It improves signal reflection and resonance frequencies, leading to better network performance.
- The technology can enhance the overall user experience by providing faster and more reliable wireless connectivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A unit cell of a RIS includes a first conductive structure including a first element and a second element disposed under the first element; a second conductive structure including a third element and a fourth element disposed under the third element; and a switch circuit disposed between the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure. As a first RF signal from a first external device is incident on the unit cell, a second RF signal having a first resonance frequency is reflected based on electrical paths formed respectively in the first element and the third element, and a third RF signal having a second resonance frequency different from the first resonance frequency is reflected based on electrical paths formed respectively in the second element and the fourth element.
