Abstract

The technology described herein is directed towards a metasurface (reconfigurable intelligent surface) that can be used to redirect signals to and from non-terrestrial network satellites. The metasurface can be passive, and provide signal array gain with respect to indoor user equipment sending and receiving signals to and from the network satellites. The metasurface can be portable for use in various scenarios. Further, the metasurface can be configured to operate in a transmission mode, in which incoming signal is passed through the metasurface, or can be reconfigured to operate in a reflection mode, in which incoming signal is reflected by the metasurface. Different phase shifts of the metasurface's unit cells result in array gain through constructive interference, by refraction in the transmission mode, or reflection in the reflection mode. The presence or absence of a removable back plane determines the transmission or reflection operating mode of the metasurface.
