ASIC used to provide an adaptive complex impedance load each the metasurface unit cells. Various technology nodes are analyzed for implementation tunable loading elements before one selected final implementation, which four loads placed within circuit, and controlled two digital-to-analog converters.

Abstract Reconfigurable metasurfaces are man-made surfaces, which consist of sub-wavelength periodic elements—meta-atoms—that can be reconfigured to manipulate incoming electromagnetic waves. However, reconfigurable developed to-date, have limitations in terms loading impedance range, reconfiguration delay and power consumption. Also, these systems costly they require bulky electronics complex control circuits, makes them unattractive for commercial use. Here, we report the first family CMOS...
Metamaterials and metasurfaces have given possibilities for manipulating electromagnetic (EM) waves that in the past would seemed impossible. The majority of metasurface designs are suitable a particular frequency angle incidence. One long-sought objective is design programmable to dynamically manipulate variety incoming EM frequencies angles. In order do this, large-scale mesh networked chips required below metasurface, which apart from adapting electrical impedance properties, also...
A computational model for radio wave propagation through tree orchards is presented. Trees are modeled as collections of branches, geometrically approximated by cylinders, whose dimensions determined on the basis measurements in a cherry orchard. Tree canopies dielectric spheres appropriate size. single row trees was creating copies representative positioned top rectangular, lossy slab that simulated ground. The complete scattering model, including soil and trees, enhanced periodicity...
HyperSurfaces are a merge of structurally reconfigurable metasurfaces whose electromagnetic properties can be changed via software interface, using an embedded miniaturized network controllers, thus enabling novel capabilities in wireless communications. Resource constraints associated with the development hardware testbed this breakthrough technology necessitate controller architectures different from traditional regular Network-on-Chip architectures. The Manhattan-like topology chosen to...
