The Lecture is:
Reconfigurable Metasurface Antennas for Next-Generation Communications and Imaging
Abstract:
While the global commercialization of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications is gradually taking off, there is already significant interest in the next generation of wireless communications. 6G scheduled to be launched in 2030 will provide a Tbps data rate, microsecond latency, and almost unlimited bandwidth to the connectivity of numerous mobile and intelligent networks. Antennas and metasurfaces are ubiquitous and indispensable components to generate and manipulate electromagnetic (EM) waves. In this talk, Dr. Wu will share the development of the reconfigurable metasurface antenna that can control all fundamental properties of EM waves. The space-time-coding metasurface antenna can further facilitate information manipulation, which can fundamentally simplify the architecture of information transmitter systems. The unparalleled wave and information manipulation capabilities of the metasurface antenna will spark a surge of applications from next-generation wireless systems, cognitive sensing to imaging.
