Introduction

This repository contains the channel model for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) described in De-Ming Chian, Chao-Kai Wen, Chi-Hung Wu, Fu-Kang Wang, and Kai-Kit Wong, “A novel channel model for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces with consideration of polarization and switch impairments,” arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.03713, 2023. [Online]. Available: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03713.

The final version is published in D.-M. Chian, C.-K. Wen, C.-H. Wu, F.-K. Wang and K.-K. Wong, "A Novel Channel Model for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces With Consideration of Polarization and Switch Impairments," IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, vol. 72, no. 4, pp. 3680-3695, April 2024. Available: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10462906.

Requirements

• Matlab (R2022b)

Hint

• If this code is applied in different cases, the transformation of polarization for the scattered and reflected waves and their tuning coefficients must be redefined. They are described in equations [22] and [23] of our article.

File 1: RIS element (Consideration of polarization and switch impairments)

Step1. Download the main script, functions, and data

• Main script: Main.m
• Functions: CalculateCC.m / CalculateReflect.m / CalculateScatter.m /
         ChangeGrid.m / LinearInterpolate.m /
         LoadParameter.m / RotateAntenna.m
  
• Data: Pattern file (AntH2.xlsx / AntH3.xlsx / AntH4.xlsx /
            AntV2.xlsx / AntV3.xlsx / AntV4.xlsx)
  

Step2. Run the main script

Results

The following results are reproduced from Fig. 7(c) of our paper:

File 2: RIS array (Controlling algorithm)

Step1. Download the main scripts, functions, and data

• Main script 1: Main_RISarray_WithoutRotation.m
• Main script 2: Main_RISarray_WithRotation.m
• Functions: CalculateCC.m / CalculateReflect.m / CalculateScatter.m /
         ChangeGrid.m / LinearInterpolate.m / LinearInterpolateGrid.m /
         LoadParameter.m / ArrayGenerate.m /
         RodriguesRotVec.m / RotateAntenna.m /
         ControlRIS_Perfectbeam.m / ControlRIS_DPSbeam.m /
         ControlRIS_BGA.m / ControlRIS_BGApolar.m /
         GetCC_LOS.m / GetCC_RIS.m
  
• Data: Pattern file (AntH2.xlsx / AntH3.xlsx / AntH4.xlsx /
            AntV2.xlsx / AntV3.xlsx / AntV4.xlsx)
  

Step2. Run the main script 1 and 2, corresponding to Fig. 12(a) and (b), respectively. The results with one of controlling algorithms will be obtained.

(Please choose the controlling algorithm in the 43-th line. Ex.: AntData.CtlMethod = 'Perfect_beam'; is based on perfect beamforming.)
