Modeling Reflective Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) Systems with MATLAB

Overview

In this webinar, you will learn about new capabilities in MATLAB for reflective intelligent surfaces (RIS). It is considered a promising enabling technology for next generation wireless systems (6G). The RIS consists of a large array of cell elements that manipulate the phase, amplitude, polarization, or frequency of an incident signal to improve the energy and spectral efficiency of wireless links.  Applying RIS to mobile communications can improve the capacity and coverage by enhancing radio environments and controlling the propagation of radio waves. Challenges associated with the roll-out of RIS include channel modeling, hardware impairment, deployment strategies, and phase optimization. Please join our webinar to learn about RIS technology and its design and modeling tools in MATLAB. 

Highlights

Through examples and case studies you will learn about:

  • Analyzing the response of RIS using full-wave electromagnetic simulation
  • Modeling RIS with 3GPP CDL Channels
  • Developing iterative algorithm to control the phase of each RIS element.
  • Simulating a cellular propagation environment in the presence of blockages with and without RIS

Please allow approximately 45 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar, so if you can't make it for the live broadcast, register and we will send you a link to watch it on-demand.
