title = "PET Based Flexible Intelligent Reflective Surface for Millimeter-Wave Applications",
abstract = "This paper presents a novel millimeter wave (mmWave) Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) based flexible intelligent reflective surface (IRS) unit cell for commercial 5G communication applications. A single bit IRS operation is achieved by employing a switch mechanism in the metasurface to introduce a controlled 180°phase shift in reflection mode of the IRS between ON and OFF states. The geometry of the proposed metasurface unit cell allows for a transverse electric (TE) polarized reflection with an azimuthal angular stability of 20°. The amplitude of reflection is greater than 65\% throughout the operational band of 27 GHz to 29 GHz. This flexible and digitally programmable metasurface can be used in commercial 5G applications requiring features such as beam focusing and beam steering.",
