%T Developing Modular Reflective EM Skins to Boost Wireless Signals in Cities
%U http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/892/
%X Design of modular, passive, and static artificial metasurface as electromagnetic skins (EMSs) is introduced in this paper to boost wireless signals in cities. To achieve this goal, we propose a specialized design strategy that seeks optimal tradeoff solutions to ensure adequate coverage in areas with weak base station signals. The optimal EMS layout is determined using a binary multiobjective optimization method.Representative numerical results are presented and discussed to showcase the features and potential of the EMS solution within a smart electromagnetic environment (SEME), demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
