Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A unit cell of a RIS includes a first conductive structure including a first element and a second element disposed under the first element; a second conductive structure including a third element and a fourth element disposed under the third element; and a switch circuit disposed between the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure. As a first RF signal from a first external device is incident on the unit cell, a second RF signal having a first resonance frequency is reflected based on electrical paths formed respectively in the first element and the third element, and a third RF signal having a second resonance frequency different from the first resonance frequency is reflected based on electrical paths formed respectively in the second element and the fourth element.
