Abstract
Designs and control techniques for passive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (pMIMO) surfaces are provided. An example array of reconfigurable reflective elements includes a plurality of unit cells each comprising a cross-slot radiating element, a first varactor diode disposed across a first end of the cross-slot radiating element and configured to control polarization in a first plane, and a second varactor diode disposed across a second end of the cross-slot radiating element and configured to control polarization in a second plane, and a controller coupled to the first varactor diode and the second varactor diode and configured to provide control signals to the first varactor diode and the second varactor diode to vary a direction of a reflected signal.
