Abstract :
Reflectarray antennas were used to improve wireless propagation channel in none-line-of-sight (NLOS) environment. Experiments for the elimination of blind spots propagation channel and enhancement of MIMO performance were investigated. It was demonstrated that the reflectarray can be used to enhance the communication quality and increase the multipath richness for MIMO communications.
