  • Patent number: 12658983
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques may enable transmitting and receiving devices to increase an effective aperture size of transmitting and receiving antenna arrays, which may increase an achievable rank of spatially multiplexed communications. For example, one or both of the transmitting device and the receiving device may use a reflective component to reflect signals transmitted between the devices, which may allow for larger effective aperture sizes without increasing a physical distance between antenna elements. In some examples, the reflective component may be a static concave mirror associated with a predetermined weight vector and focal point. In some examples, the concave mirror may be a reflective intelligent surface (RIS) of reflective elements with reflective properties which may be dynamically adjusted to various weight vectors. An orientation of the RIS may be adjusted to steer a beam in various directions in space.
