Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Radar and Communications

Please note the Location change to Bannan Engineering Building 201, Seattle University , Seattle University, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122 Please join us for an inspiring talk on one of the most promising technologies for controlling, shaping, and monitoring electromagnetic waves — Reconfigurable Surfaces for Radar and Communications Dr. Kumar Vijay Mishra is ieee AESS distinguished speaker, Title: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Radar and Communications Abstract: In recent years, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have shown promising abilities to control and manipulate electromagnetic (EM) waves through modified surface boundary conditions. These surfaces are electrically thin and comprise an array of spatially varying sub-wavelength scattering elements (or meta-atoms). Through careful engineering of each meta-atom, RISs can transform an incident EM wave into an arbitrarily tailored transmitted or reflected wavefront. RISs are being considered for future generation wireless systems and are already rapidly enabling novel applications in sensing and communications such as non-line-of-sight coverage, index modulation, polarization modulation, and adaptable patterns. This talk will explore applications of RISs to radar, wireless communications, and joint radar-communications. Toward the end, we will touch upon deep learning-based techniques for RIS inverse design.
