On-Demand Webinar: RIS – Shaping The Radio Channel For Best Connectivity

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology is drawing increasing attention in both academia and industry due to the potential technical advantages it may bring to future wireless communication systems, such as the 6th generation of mobile communications.

The anticipation is vast increases in performance based on enhanced control of the electromagnetic waves used in the radio propagation channel, thanks to metamaterial with properties not found in nature. Sounds like science fiction? It’s not!

This webinar explains the technology behind RIS, discusses possible use cases and applications and examines what this means for testing.

In this webinar, you will learn more about:

• Fundamentals of RIS technology
• RIS use cases, applications and deployments
• RIS measurement needs

Duration: 1 hour, 3 minutes

Heinz Mellein
Technology Manager
Rohde & Schwarz

Heinz Mellein is a technology manager for wireless communications with Rohde & Schwarz. In this role he is evaluating new radio technologies and markets with respect to their test & measurement needs. He also represents the company at various industry organizations responsible for wireless communication standards such as 3GPP, ETSI and REDCA. Heinz joined Rohde & Schwarz in 1990 and has been involved in mobile radio communication testing ever since. He was member of the startup team that designed and developed the very first GSM system simulator for type approval purposes, and subsequently a project manager and technology trainer for GSM, UMTS, WiMAX and LTE. He is also the co-author of a comprehensive book covering test & measurement for UMTS. Heinz received his diploma in communications engineering at the Heinrich Hertz Technical University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
