Optically-transparent opportunistic electromagnetic skins (OTO-EMSs) are proposed to enable outdoor-to-indoor (O2I) millimiter-wave (mmW) wireless communications with existing windows/glass-panels. More in detail, static passive EMSs…

This paper deals with radar imaging in non-line of sight (NLOS) with the aid of non-reconfigurable electromagnetic skins (NR-EMSs). NR-EMSs are passive metasurfaces whose reflection properties are defined during the manufacturing process,…

Electromagnetic skins (EMSs) have been recently considered as a booster for wireless sensing, but their usage on mobile targets is relatively novel and could be of interest when the target reflectivity can/must be increased to improve its…

The future 5G networks are expected to use millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands to take advantage of large unused spectrum. However, due to the high path loss at mmWave frequencies, coverage of mmWave signals can get severely reduced,…

An innovative process for the design of static passive smart skins (SPSSs) is proposed to take into account, within the synthesis, the electromagnetic (EM) interactions due to their finite (macro-level) size and aperiodic (micro-scale)…

A new methodology for the improvement of the performance of inexpensive static passive electromagnetic skins (SP-EMSs) is presented. The proposed approach leverages on the non-uniqueness of the inverse source problem associated to the…

Electromagnetic (EM) waves propagating through an inhomogeneous medium inevitably scatter whenever electromagnetic properties of the medium change on the scale of a single wavelength. This fundamental phenomenon constrains how optical…

We investigate how fully-passive electromagnetic skins (EMSs) can be engineered to enhance channel charting (CC) in dense urban environments. We employ two complementary state-of-the-art CC techniques, semi-supervised t-distributed…

The optimal planning of electromagnetic skins (EMSs) installed on the building facades to enhance the received signal strength, thus the wireless coverage and/or the quality-of-service (QoS) in large-scale urban areas, is addressed. More…

Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology is expected to dominate the future 5G networks mainly due to large spectrum available at these frequencies. However, coverage deteriorates significantly at mmWave frequencies due to higher path loss,…

The emerging 5G and future 6G technologies are envisioned to provide higher bandwidths and coverage using millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-Terahertz (THz) frequency bands. The growing demand for higher data rates using these bands can be…

The availability of large unused spectrum at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands has steered the future 5G research towards these bands. However, mmWave signals are attenuated severely in the non-lineof-sight (NLOS) scenarios, thereby…

Symmetry-protected ideal flat bands in one-dimensional (1D) Hermitian lattices are populated by compact localized states (CLS) - a special class of localization with wavefunctions confined within a small region. In this work, we discover…

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) offers a window to view nanoscale properties and processes. When performed in a scanning transmission electron microscope, EELS can simultaneously render images of nanoscale objects with…
