摘要：
Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a revolutionizing solution to enhance wireless communications by intelligently changing the propagation environment. Prior studies on IRS are based on an ideal reflection model with a constant amplitude and a variable phase shift. However, it is difficult and unrealistic to implement an IRS satisfying such ideal reflection model in practical applications. In this letter, we aim to investigate the phase-amplitude-frequency relationship of the reflected signals and propose a practical model of reflection coefficient for an IRS-aided wideband system. Then, based on this practical model, joint transmit power allocation of each subcarrier and IRS beamforming optimization are investigated for an IRS-aided wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Simulation results illustrate the importance of the practical model on the IRS designs and validate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
