On May 25th, 2023 at 5.30 pm, a new appointment of the “Thursday meetings – A glance to the future at cocktail-hour”, organized by EIIT – CNR  Institute, will take place online by Microsoft Teams.

The series of fortnightly meetings deal with specific themes connected to IEIIT – CNR institute with transversal vision through application domains and technological areas with particular attention to their evolutions.

The new seminar will be held by Dr. Antonio Clemente (CEA-LETI) on the following subject "Manipulation and control of electromagnetic waves using programmable surfaces".

Spatiotemporal manipulation of electromagnetic (EM) waves using passive and reconfigurable electromagnetic surfaces is of prime importance in future communication, spectroscopy, imaging, holography, and sensing systems. Reconfigurable Intelligent (Meta)Surface (RIS) is a cutting-edge hybrid analogue/digital architecture capable of shaping and controlling the EM waves at the subwavelength scale. The presentation will focus on the actual state of the art on RIS technology with a focus on ad-hoc ray-tracing techniques used to model the surfaces. Synthesis techniques to design the phase gradient distribution on the RIS aperture will be also presented. Then, several recent developments for SATCOM and sub-THz communications will be discussed.
