Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a group of controllable surface cells of an intelligent controllable surface, wherein the surface cells include input surfaces in communication with a waveguide and configured to receive an RF carrier signal via the waveguide. The controllable surface also includes a group of output surfaces and a group of control terminals in communication with the controllable surface cells and configured to receive an information signal. The intelligent controllable surface includes a group of controllable devices in communication with the control terminals, wherein the controllable devices are configured to control scattering parameters of the controllable surface cells responsive to the information signal to impress a direct modulation upon the RF carrier signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.
