Why wouldn't you just use planar arrays at the end nodes? At those frequencies you can still take advantage of the multipath through a MIMO setup. The use of the horn antennas makes these reflectors appear to have a bigger impact, but it is not a fair comparison as you filter out any alternative paths that would have been exploited by a MIMO setup.
😊Thank you for your attention and guidance, and for paying close attention to the details. In the video, the MIMO setup is indeed a suitable application for the experiment. However, due to practical constraints in the setup environment, a quick and easy method was chosen for implementation. We can schedule a time to connect and discuss in more depth.😃 👉calendly.com/tmytek-livedemobooking/tmytek-live-demo-reservation-2023
@@TMYTEK This is not the question I asked. Rather, are you able to make a comparison without resorting to highly directional antennas at the end nodes? I would posit that the reference case will be closer to the RIS case if you employ omnidirectional antennas at the end nodes.
😄Thank you for your attention and guidance, I understand your question, and the idea of using omnidirectional antennas is indeed worth considering. In the actual experiment, we chose to use directional antennas due to certain constraints. Nevertheless, your suggestion for comparing the reference case and the RIS case using omnidirectional antennas at the end nodes is valid. You can refer to the video starting from 👉03:00, which showcases another field experiment using omnidirectional antennas at the ends. This approach provides a reference case that is closer to the RIS scenario, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the performance under different setups.😃@@JamesRains-u8b
