Measurements of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface in 5G System Within a Reverberation Chamber at mmWave

Abstract

In this paper we evaluated the performance of a reconfigurable intelligent surface tested with a fifth generation signal provided by a commercial fifth generation base station. We adopted a reverberation chamber as a real life propagating environment. Tests were conducted at the millimeter wave frequency range. This measurement campaign was carried out under the H2020 European project RISE-6G and a collaboration program between TIM S.p.A., Nokia and Universit\`a Politecnica delle Marche.
