Abstract

This demonstration presents a working prototype of MilliMirror. This fully passive metasurface expands coverage blind spots of mmWave radios by reshaping and re-steering mmWave signals to any anomalous directions. The MilliMirror prototype consists of thousands of unit elements. A closed-form model is developed for efficient beam pattern synthesis. MilliMirror further explores 3D printing technology and metal deposition to achieve economical fabrication. MilliMirror prototype successfully establishes an indirect link between the WiGig transceivers, with the maximum gain over 10 dB.

MobiCom '22: Proceedings of the 28th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing And Networking

Next generation wireless networks embrace mmWave technology for its high capacity. Yet, mmWave radios bear a fundamental coverage limitation due to the high directionality and propagation artifacts. In this paper, we explore an economical paradigm based ...
Low-Profile Dual-Polarized Antenna Loaded With Electromagnetic Band-Gap Structures
Abstract
In this work, a dual-band dual circularly polarized coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna is presented. The antenna consists of the modified ground plane, and two rectangular-shaped radiators, which are located on the two sides of the ...
Both transversal negative permeability and backward-wave propagation in X-Band waveguide with double-side SRR metamaterials

In this article X-band rectangular waveguides partially filled with the double-side single ring resonator DSRR array are investigated for miniaturization, stop-band, and multi-band filters applications. Several rectangular waveguides loaded with the ...
