The sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication will take advantage of software reconfiguration solutions/entities to develop and optimize a smart radio environment, thus ensuring uninterrupted and enhanced quality of service (QoS). The deployment of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can be regarded as one of such promising solutions to achieve a smart radio environment.
By introducing the RISs into the heterogeneous networks, it enables multiple parallel links across different service networks to support robust communications. Therefore, I will revisit the various FR3-oriented (X/Ku-band) multifunctional RISs developed in my group in recent years. These solutions feature wide-angle/multi-beam scanning, polarization switching, multi-band or wideband coverage, filtering response, and so on. By tailoring their operating modes, these RISs can lend themselves to diverse application scenarios in a timely manner.

Multifunctional Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

The sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication will take advantage of software reconfiguration
solutions/entities to develop and optimize a smart radio environment, thus ensuring uninterrupted
and enhanced quality of service (QoS). The deployment of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces
(RISs) can be regarded as one of such promising solutions to achieve a smart radio environment.
By introducing the RISs into the heterogeneous networks, it enables multiple parallel links across
different service networks to support robust communications. Therefore, I will revisit the various
FR3-oriented (X/Ku-band) multifunctional RISs developed in my group in recent years. These
solutions feature wide-angle/multi-beam scanning, polarization switching, multi-band or
wideband coverage, filtering response, and so on. By tailoring their operating modes, these RISs
can lend themselves to diverse application scenarios in a timely manner

Biography:

Pei-Ling Chi (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in communications
engineering from National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2004 and 2006,
respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at
Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, USA, in 2011. Since 2011, she has been an Assistant
Professor of electrical and computer engineering with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
(NYCU), where she is currently a Full Professor. She has authored or coauthored over 150 journal
and conference papers. Her research interests include the metamaterial surfaces and circuits,
microwave/mm-Wave components and integrated systems, and terahertz antennas and
communications. Dr. Chi received the Research Creativity Award from the National Science
Council of Taiwan in 2004 and the Ta-You Wu Memorial Award from the Ministry of Science and
Technology of Taiwan in 2019. She served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE MICROWAVE AND
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY LETTERS from 2019 to 2024, and has served as Guest Editor of the IEEE
TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES
