This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $200,000 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to develop a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology capable of dynamically adjusting both the amplitude and phase of electromagnetic wave reflection and transmission.
The objective is to design a metasurface-based hybrid simultaneous transmission and reflection reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) panel that can function in both passive and active modes. This will enhance the flexibility and adaptability of RIS technology, which is critical for supporting resilient 5G and 6G wireless networks and the widespread deployment of Internet of Things devices. The project aims to demonstrate a STAR-RIS panel prototype that can digitally program the reflection and transmission properties of electromagnetic waves across a range of frequencies. This work is expected to advance the capabilities of RIS and enable more robust and intelligent wireless communication systems.
