Features and Potentialities of Static Passive EM Skins for NLOS Specular Wireless Links
The ability of passive flat patterned electromagnetic skins (EMSs) to overcome the asymptotic limit of the total path attenuation (TPA) of flat metallic reflectors of arbitrary size in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) specular wireless links is assessed. Closed-form expressions for the achievable TPA in EMS-powered NLOS links as well as the condition on the panel size of EMS-screens to improve the performance of flat passive conductive screens (PCSs) with the same aperture are derived and numerically validated by considering different incidence angles, screen apertures, transmitter/receiver distances, antenna gains, meta-atom geometries, and carrier frequencies.

Multi-View Near-field Imaging in NLOS with Non-Reconfigurable EM Skins
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 manu…
Propagate And Calibrate: Real-time Passive Non-line-of-sight Tracking
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) tracking has drawn increasing attention in recent years, due to its ability to detect object motion out of sight. Most previous works on NLOS tracking rely on active illumination, e.g., laser, an…
