Abstract

Recently, both academics and industry have paid close attention to the potential of adopting the prototyping of a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-aided wireless communication. In this paper, we present a novel RIS prototype operating in the 3.75 GHz range with 4096 configurable elements. We propose a realistic receiver-RIS Wi-Fi feedback link and an effective method for configuring the RIS over the air by taking advantage of the geometrical array features. Our 1-blt RIS prototype offers an 18 dB power gain over the case when it is replaced with a metal plate. The indoor measurements have been carried out where the transmitter and receiver are separated by a concrete wall.
