RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACE ARCHITECTURE WITH RFID ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18298144 titled 'RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACE ARCHITECTURE WITH RFID ARRAY

The abstract describes a scalable reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) consisting of multiple RIS elements, each with a RFID chip, RFID antenna, variable impedance controlled by the RFID chip, and a RIS antenna. These elements work together to produce a reflection beam that can be directed to a specific location based on steering information received by the RFID chip.

  • RFID chips power the RIS elements
  • RFID antennas are connected to the RFID chips
  • RIS variable impedance is controlled by the RFID chip
  • RIS antennas are connected to the RIS variable impedance
  • Plurality of RIS elements produce a reflection beam
  • Reflection beam can be directed to a specific location
  • RFID chip receives steering information to steer the reflection beam

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Beamforming technology - Smart antennas

Problems Solved: - Enhancing wireless communication efficiency - Improving signal strength and coverage - Enabling targeted communication

Benefits: - Increased data transmission speeds - Enhanced network performance - Reduced interference

Commercial Applications: Title: "Next-Generation Wireless Communication Systems" This technology can be used in 5G networks, IoT devices, and smart city infrastructure to optimize communication efficiency and enhance connectivity.

Questions about RIS: 1. How does the RIS technology improve wireless communication systems?

  - The RIS technology enhances wireless communication by enabling precise beamforming and targeted signal transmission.

2. What are the potential implications of using RIS in smart antennas?

  - Implementing RIS in smart antennas can significantly improve signal strength and coverage, leading to more reliable wireless networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A scalable reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) includes a plurality of RIS elements. The RIS elements include: a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that powers the RIS element; a RFID antenna connected to the RFID chip; a RIS variable impedance controlled by the RFID chip; and a RIS antenna connected to the RIS variable impedance. The plurality of RIS elements produces a reflection beam that may be directed to a specific location. The RFID chip receives steering information to steer the reflection beam.
