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

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.
