Programmable structured surfaces can change the future of wireless communications

摘要

An innovative time-varying metasurface has been reported to realise dual-channel data transmissions for light-to-microwave signal conversion.Such a novel technique is a remarkable step forward to realise full-spectrum networks for catering for the growing demand for wireless communications.Moreover,this technique enriches the functionalities of tunable metasurfaces and stimulates new information-oriented applications.
