摘要
This paper deals with line-of-sight (LOS) MIMO communication via an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). It is shown that the number of spatial degrees of freedom (DOF) afforded by this setting grows in proportion with the IRS aperture, as opposed to being dictated by the transmit and receive apertures; this buttresses the interest in IRS deployments at mmWave and terahertz frequencies, with wavelengths and transmission ranges small enough to enable LOS MIMO. Explicit and simple-to-implement IRS phase shifts are put forth that achieve, not only the maximum number of DOF, but the capacity, under a certain geometrical condition. The insights leading to the proposed phase shifts, and to the optimality condition itself, are asymptotic in nature, yet extensive simulations confirm that the performance is excellent for a broad range of settings and even if the optimality condition is not strictly met.
