| contents | In this paper, a broadband 1-bit coding metasurface-based reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is presented. The unit cell of the metasurface consists of a wide dipole modified with interdigital capacitors and loaded with an SMP 1340-040LF PIN diode. The proposed element offers cell miniaturization and a stable angular response. A phase difference of 180$\degree \pm$ 30$\degree$ is achieved for a frequency range of 4.85-6.05 GHz between the ON and OFF states for the normal incidence of the TE polarized wave, whereas it provides a fairly stable response with reflection loss of less than 3 dB and phase difference of 180$\degree$ $\pm$ 50$\degree$ for oblique incidence up to 45$\degree$. The RF is isolated from the DC on the bias lines using properly designed butterfly-shaped radial stubs. Using this unit cell, a prototype with an array of 16 $\times$ 10 elements is constructed. A low-cost microcontroller-based control circuit is designed, which can be plugged-in for biasing the PIN diodes of such array. The theoretically calculated and full-wave simulated radiation patterns of the array are validated using experiments inside anechoic chamber. Furthermore, the capability of the RIS for non-line of sight (NLOS) user equipment (UE) localization and robust uplink communication is demonstrated using LTE communication framework. This shows great potential of our RIS for applications, such as in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) localization and its uplink communication at NLOS or extended range. |
