Line-of-Sight MIMO via Reflection From a Smooth Surface
share
We provide a deterministic channel model for a scenario where wireless connectivity is established through a reflection from a planar smooth surface of an infinite extent. The developed model is rigorously built upon the physics of wave propagation, and is as precise as tight are the unboundedness and smoothness assumptions on the surface. This model allows establishing that line-of-sight spatial multiplexing can take place via reflection off an electrically large surface, a situation of high interest for mmWave and terahertz frequencies.
