D-Band Perfect Anomalous Reflectors for 6G Applications

We demonstrate anomalous reflectors at 140 GHz for the application of 6G communication coverage expansion. The reflectors are designed on cyclo-olefin polymer (COP) substrates on the basis of measured complex permittivity and conductivity at millimeter frequencies obtained with the balanced-type cir...
