Experimental Evaluation of Multi-operator RIS-assisted Links in Indoor Environment

In this work, we present reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted optimization of the multiple links in the same indoor environment. Multiple RISs from different operators can co-exists and handle independent robust communication links in the same indoor environment. We investigated the key performance metrics with the help of two simultaneously operating RIS-empowered robust communication links at different center frequencies in the same indoor environment. We found with the help of bit error rate (BER) and error vector magnitude (EVM) measurements that two operators can co-exist in the same RF environment without seriously impacting quality of service of users.

Surface Wave Transmission Line Theory for Single and Many Wire Systems

Examining cables using many conductor transmission line theory has shed light on the modes supported by various cable types. However, so far the theory disregards the fundamental surface wave mode whose lateral confinement increases with frequency and hence is expected to play an important role in high frequency applications. To address this issue, we propose an extension to the theory which incorporates surface waves on uncoated, cylindrical wires. Crucially, this requires new definitions of the per unit length transmission line parameters which are derived using the single wire surface wave solution. By closely examining a two wire and three wire system, we show that these new parameters can predict surface waves as well as modes found using conventional many conductor transmission line theory. Furthermore, all calculated modes are validated experimentally by diagonalization of a measured channel transfer matrix. Additionally, the theoretically predicted propagation constants for the modes are validated against full numerical simulation for the two wire case and good agreement is observed when proximity effects can be neglected.

Analytic Modelling of a Planar Goubau Line with Circular Conductor

This paper analyses the surface wave mode propagating along a simplified planar Goubau line consisting of a perfectly conducting circular wire on top of a dielectric substrate of finite thickness but infinite width. An approximate equation for the propagation constant is derived and solved through numerical integration. The dependence of the propagation constant on various system parameters is calculated and the results agree well with full numerical simulations. In addition, the spatial distribution of the longitudinal electric field is reported and excellent agreement with the numerical simulation and previous studies is found. Moreover, validation against experimental phase velocity measurements is also reported. Finally, insights gained from the model are considered for a Goubau line with a rectangular conductor. These results present the first step towards an analytic model of the planar Goubau line.
