contents In this paper, we systematically study the electromagnetic (EM) and communication aspects of an RIS through EM simulations, system-level and ray-tracing simulations, and finally measurements. We simulate a nearly perfect, lossless RIS, and a realistic lossy anomalous reflector (AR) in different ray tracers and analyze the large-scale fading of simple RIS-assisted links. We also compare the results with continuous and quantized unit cell reflection phases with one to four-bit resolutions. Finally, we perform over-the-air communication link measurements in an indoor setting with a manufactured sample of a wide-angle AR. The EM, system-level, and ray-tracing simulation results show good agreement with the measurement results. It is proved that the introduced macroscopic model of RIS from the EM aspects is consistent with our proposed communication models, both for an ideal RIS and a realistic AR.
