Propagation Modeling for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Enabled Links Based on an Effective Complex Radar Cross-Section
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Most existing path loss models for radio links enabled by reconfigurable intelligence surfaces (RISs) have been derived by assuming that each unit cell of these surfaces scatters incident waves individually. However, unit cells are mutually coupled and scatter collectively, as expressed by the complex radar cross-section (CRCS) of the surface. The CRCS can be computed by full-wave analysis, but this analysis has to be repeated for each of the many states of the RIS, requiring excessive resources. We present an approximate method to efficiently compute the CRCS of an RIS at any state, without repeated full-wave simulations. Our method accounts for the mutual coupling of unit cells and allows us to estimate the scattered fields in the main scattering direction of the RIS, at an accuracy that is comparable to full-wave analysis. Integrating this method with ray-tracing enables the modeling of wireless propagation in realistic, RIS-enabled communication channels over multiple RIS states.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
