contents Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging technology for application to wireless communications. In this paper, we consider the problem of anomalous reflection and model the RIS as a periodic surface impedance boundary. We utilize the mode matching method and Floquets expansion representation to compute the field reflected from a spatially periodic RIS, and evaluate the performance versus implementation complexity tradeoffs of RIS aided communications based on the global design criterion. This allows us to maximize the power reflected towards the intended direction of propagation, while minimizing the power reradiated towards undesired directions of propagation. In addition, we discuss the advantages of the proposed electromagnetically consistent approach to the design of RIS aided wireless systems.
