Description

太阳能自供电的固态混合RIS、动态混合RIS及有源RISSolar self-powered solid-state hybrid RIS, dynamic hybrid RIS and active RIS 技术领域technical field
本发明属于通信技术领域,具体涉及一种太阳能自供电的可重构智能反射表面。The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and in particular relates to a reconfigurable intelligent reflective surface powered by solar energy.
背景技术Background technique
预期未来十年通信网络容量千倍增长,无处不在的无线连接成为现实,但是高度复杂的网络,高成本的硬件和日益增加的能源消耗将会是未来无线通信面临的关键问题。例如,5G的关键技术中的大规模MIMO(多进多出)和超密集组网,由于部署大量的基站和天线,增加了硬件成本和能耗;频谱从sub-6G到毫米波,太赫兹的扩展需要更复杂的信号处理和更昂贵的耗能硬件。It is expected that the capacity of communication networks will increase by a thousand times in the next ten years, and ubiquitous wireless connections will become a reality. However, highly complex networks, high-cost hardware and increasing energy consumption will be the key issues facing future wireless communications. For example, the massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and ultra-dense networking in the key technologies of 5G increase hardware costs and energy consumption due to the deployment of a large number of base stations and antennas; the spectrum ranges from sub-6G to millimeter wave, terahertz Expansion of , requires more complex signal processing and more expensive power-hungry hardware.
就目前而言,太阳能光伏发电产业制作工艺不断的改良精进,规模不断的扩大,商业化进程不断加快。然而,将取之不尽用之不竭的绿色环保的太阳能应用到现有的通信网络中用来降低能耗,使设备小型化成为未来的大趋势。此外,随着人工智能的快速发展,无线网络从技术、设备等方面越发的智能化,由此引发了大批学者对无线环境的不可控而导致的通信性能的限制和服务质量的下降的深入思考,从而提出了一种近乎无源的、低成本、低能耗、易部署且新颖独特的技术——可重构智能表面(Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface,RIS)。For now, the manufacturing process of the solar photovoltaic power generation industry has been continuously improved, the scale has been continuously expanded, and the commercialization process has been accelerated. However, applying the inexhaustible green and environmentally friendly solar energy to the existing communication network to reduce energy consumption and miniaturization of equipment will become a major trend in the future. In addition, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, wireless networks are becoming more and more intelligent in terms of technology and equipment, which has triggered a large number of scholars to think deeply about the limitation of communication performance and the decline of service quality caused by the uncontrollable wireless environment. , thus proposing a nearly passive, low-cost, low-energy consumption, easy-to-deploy, and novel and unique technology—Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS).
RIS通常由大量精心设计的电磁单元排列而成,利用RIS控制器以可编程的方式对空间电磁波进行智能控制,从而改变电磁波的相位、幅度、极化和频率等参数。其最大的优势在于低成本、近乎无源且易于部署。然而,采用无源RIS辅助无线通信,信号经过级联信道,反射链路相比于直接链路而言,其路径损耗按乘积的方式叠加,导致其存在双衰落问题。此外,无源RIS不仅限制了端到端的信道波束成形增益,也阻碍了RIS获取准确的信道状态信息。因此,混合有源/无源的RIS和有源RIS被提出用于解决上述问题。混合有源/无源的RIS和有源RIS既可以改变入射信号的相位,也能够放大其幅度。然而,有源反射元件需要供电,特别是当有源反射元件单元数目庞大时,其供电是一大难题,这会直接影响混合有源/无源的RIS以及有源RIS的商业化部署。RIS is usually arranged by a large number of well-designed electromagnetic units. The RIS controller is used to intelligently control the space electromagnetic wave in a programmable way, thereby changing the parameters of the electromagnetic wave such as phase, amplitude, polarization and frequency. Its biggest advantages are low cost, near passive and easy deployment. However, when passive RIS is used to assist wireless communication, the signal passes through cascaded channels. Compared with the direct link, the path loss of the reflective link is superimposed in the form of a product, which leads to the double fading problem. In addition, passive RIS not only limits the end-to-end channel beamforming gain, but also prevents RIS from acquiring accurate channel state information. Therefore, hybrid active/passive RIS and active RIS are proposed to solve the above problems. Hybrid active/passive RIS and active RIS can both change the phase of the incident signal and amplify its amplitude. However, active reflective elements need power supply, especially when the number of active reflective element units is large, the power supply is a big problem, which will directly affect the commercial deployment of hybrid active/passive RIS and active RIS.

实施例一Embodiment one
请参见图1和图2,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种太阳能自供电的固态混合RIS的结构示意图,图2是本发明实施例提供的一种有源反射元件的结构示意图。本实施例的固态混合RIS包括中间规则排列的多个有源反射元件101、外围规则排列的多个无源反射元件102、以及分别连接有源反射元件101和无源反射元件102的RIS控制器103,其中,RIS控制器103用于控制有源反射元件101上的入射信号的相位和幅度,以及控制无源反射元件102上的入射信号的相位。有源反射元件101和无源反射元件102的尺寸大小可根据实际需求进行确定。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a solar self-powered solid-state hybrid RIS provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an active reflective element provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The solid-state hybrid RIS of this embodiment includes a plurality of active reflective elements 101 regularly arranged in the middle, a plurality of passive reflective elements 102 regularly arranged in the periphery, and an RIS controller connected to the active reflective elements 101 and the passive reflective elements 102 respectively. 103 , wherein the RIS controller 103 is used to control the phase and amplitude of the incident signal on the active reflective element 101 , and control the phase of the incident signal on the passive reflective element 102 .

The circuit board 115 is connected to the RIS controller 103 ; the active reflective element layer 111 , the semiconductor crystal layer 112 and the first metal back plate 114 form a solar cell unit to supply power to the first control circuit board 115 and the RIS controller 103 . In other words, this implementation provides an integrated structure of solar cells and hybrid RIS, in which passive reflective elements do not need to integrate solar cells, active reflective elements are designed to integrate solar cells, and finally the two are spliced together.
具体地,有源反射元件101的有源反射元件层111位于半导体晶体层2的上表面,分别通过馈线104与去耦电路116和第一控制电路板115相连接。有源反射元件层111是由辐射贴片构成,所述辐射贴片、半导体晶体层112和第一金属背板114构成太阳能电池单元,辐射贴片作为反射元件层的同时也作为太阳能电池单元的上电极。半导体晶体层112作为天线的介质基板。第一金属背板114位于半导体晶体层112的下方,作为太阳能电池单元板的衬底,并用作太阳能电池单元的一个输出电极。所述太阳能电池单元之间通过贴片电感层113连接,即贴片电感层113连接各有源反射元件101的太阳能电池单元的底部。第一控制电路板115通过导线105分别与第一金属背板114和RIS控制器103连接。Specifically, the active reflective element layer 111 of the active reflective element 101 is located on the upper surface of the semiconductor crystal layer 2 , and is respectively connected to the decoupling circuit 116 and the first control circuit board 115 through the feeder line 104 . The active reflective element layer 111 is composed of a radiation patch, the radiant patch, the semiconductor crystal layer 112 and the first metal back plate 114 form a solar cell unit, and the radiant patch is not only a reflective element layer but also a solar cell unit. upper electrode. The semiconductor crystal layer 112 serves as a dielectric substrate of the antenna. The first metal back plate 114 is located under the semiconductor crystal layer 112, serves as the substrate of the solar cell panel, and serves as an output electrode of the solar cell. The solar battery units are connected through the chip inductor layer 113 , that is, the chip inductor layer 113 is connected to the bottom of the solar battery unit of each active reflective element 101 . The first control circuit board 115 is respectively connected to the first metal backplane 114 and the RIS controller 103 through wires 105 .
在本实施例中,该固态混合RIS的反射元件层是由方形辐射贴片构成的均匀阵列,其中,无源反射元件层121是完整的方形辐射贴片,而有源反射元件层111是设置在半导体晶体层112上表面的环状辐射贴片,或者有源反射元件层11采用透明导电材料形成方形贴片。本实施例的半导体晶体层112采用单晶硅,单晶硅形成的太阳能电池光电转换效率高。In this embodiment, the reflective element layer of the solid-state hybrid RIS is a uniform array composed of square radiation patches, wherein the passive reflective element layer 121 is a complete square radiation patch, and the active reflective element layer 111 is set The ring-shaped radiating patch on the upper surface of the semiconductor crystal layer 112, or the active reflective element layer 11 is made of a transparent conductive material to form a square patch. The semiconductor crystal layer 112 in this embodiment adopts single crystal silicon, and the solar cell formed by single crystal silicon has high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
需要说明的是,由有源反射元件层111、半导体晶体层112和第一金属背板114构成的太阳能电池的导电层(即半导体晶体层)在辐射电磁波时会产生电磁耦合,必然影响到贴片的辐射性能。为了消除耦合效应,需要贴片和导电层相隔很大的距离,但这会使整个可重构智能反射表面的体积变大。鉴于此,本实施例在半导体晶体层112与第一金属背板114之间设置有贴片 电感层113,利用电感通直流隔交流的性质,采用贴片电感层113连接各太阳能电池的底部,从太阳能电池中提取光伏产生的直流电流,同时也阻隔了由于太阳能电池中交变的电流产生的变化的磁场对贴片辐射性能的影响。本实施例的贴片电感层113具体为把多个电感串联起来,集成在一个贴片上,形成一个贴片层。进一步地,如图2所示,有源反射元件1还包括去耦电路116,去耦电路116连接在有源反射元件层111与第一控制电路板115之间。具体地,该去耦电路116的一端连接到由有源反射元件的每个辐射贴片构成的整个有源反射元件层上面,而另一端连接到有源反射元件的控制电路板上。本实施例的去耦电路116为DC/RF去耦电路,包括并联的电容C和电感L,其中,电容C的一端连接有源反射元件层111,另一端连接第一控制电路板115;电感L的一端连接有源反射元件层111,另一端连接第一控制电路板115。去耦电路116能够减少直流总线对天线性能的影响,消除阻抗匹配性能的影响。It should be noted that the conductive layer (i.e., the semiconductor crystal layer) of the solar cell composed of the active reflective element layer 111, the semiconductor crystal layer 112 and the first metal back plate 114 will generate electromagnetic coupling when radiating electromagnetic waves, which will inevitably affect the solar cell. radiation performance of the chip. To eliminate the coupling effect, a large distance between the patch and the conductive layer is required, which makes the overall reconfigurable smart reflective surface bulkier. In view of this, in this embodiment, a chip inductor layer 113 is provided between the semiconductor crystal layer 112 and the first metal back plate 114, and the chip inductor layer 113 is used to connect the bottom of each solar cell by utilizing the property of the inductor to conduct DC and block AC. The direct current generated by photovoltaic is extracted from the solar cell, and at the same time, the influence of the changing magnetic field generated by the alternating current in the solar cell on the radiation performance of the patch is blocked. The chip inductor layer 113 in this embodiment is specifically to connect multiple inductors in series and integrate them on a patch to form a patch layer. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 , the active reflective element 1 further includes a decoupling circuit 116 connected between the active reflective element layer 111 and the first control circuit board 115 . Specifically, one end of the decoupling circuit 116 is connected to the entire active reflective element layer formed by each radiation patch of the active reflective element, and the other end is connected to the control circuit board of the active reflective element. The decoupling circuit 116 of this embodiment is a DC/RF decoupling circuit, including a capacitor C and an inductor L connected in parallel, wherein one end of the capacitor C is connected to the active reflective element layer 111, and the other end is connected to the first control circuit board 115; One end of L is connected to the active reflective element layer 111 , and the other end is connected to the first control circuit board 115 . The decoupling circuit 116 can reduce the influence of the DC bus on the performance of the antenna, and eliminate the influence of the impedance matching performance.
本实施例的RIS控制器103为FPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array,现场可编程门阵列)控制器。该FPGA控制器可以根据实际需求设定需要调节的有源反射元件101的入射信号相位和幅度,以及设定需要调节的无源反射元件102的入射信号相位。需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,RIS控制器103还可以是其他适当的控制器,这里不做限制。The RIS controller 103 of this embodiment is an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array, Field Programmable Gate Array) controller. The FPGA controller can set the phase and amplitude of the incident signal of the active reflective element 101 that needs to be adjusted, and set the phase of the incident signal of the passive reflective element 102 that needs to be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the RIS controller 103 may also be other appropriate controllers, which is not limited here.
进一步地,所述太阳能电池是将光能转换为电能并输送到控制电路板中的蓄电池里面储存起来。由于太阳光不同时间段的强弱不一样,太阳能电池输出的电压受光照的影响较大,因此要先经过一个稳压电路,再连接到控制电路板中将电能储存在蓄电池中,该蓄电池保证了电源能稳定持续为有源反射元件101供电,使其可在夜间和白天正常工作。即,在本实施例中,第一金属背板114与第一控制电路板115之间连接有稳压电路。需要说明的是,本实施例的稳压电路可以是任何适当的且能够对太阳能电池产生的电能进行稳压的电路。Further, the solar cell converts light energy into electrical energy and sends it to the storage battery in the control circuit board for storage. Due to the different intensity of sunlight in different time periods, the output voltage of the solar cell is greatly affected by the light, so it must first pass through a voltage stabilizing circuit, and then connect to the control circuit board to store the electric energy in the battery. This ensures that the power supply can stably and continuously supply power to the active reflective element 101, so that it can work normally at night and during the day. That is, in this embodiment, a voltage stabilizing circuit is connected between the first metal backplane 114 and the first control circuit board 115 . It should be noted that the voltage stabilizing circuit in this embodiment may be any suitable circuit capable of stabilizing the electric energy generated by the solar cell.
进一步地,请参见图4,图4是本发明实施例提供的一种无源反射元件的结构示意图。本实施例的无源反射元件102自上而下依次包括无源反射元件层121、第二金属背板122及第二控制电路板123,第二控制电路板123连接至RIS控制器103。第二控制电路板123包括第二相移电路,第二相移电路用于在RIS控制器103的控制下改变到无源反射元件102的入射信号相位。Further, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a passive reflective element provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The passive reflective element 102 of this embodiment includes a passive reflective element layer 121 , a second metal backplane 122 and a second control circuit board 123 from top to bottom. The second control circuit board 123 is connected to the RIS controller 103 . The second control circuit board 123 includes a second phase shift circuit for changing the phase of the incident signal to the passive reflective element 102 under the control of the RIS controller 103 .
该混合RIS的工作原理为:首先,太阳光通过有源反射元件上的辐射贴片(有源反射元件层)照射在半导体晶体层上的单晶硅PN结上后,产生电子-空穴对。继而在PN结势垒区内产生较强的内建电场,PN结两边的光生少数载流子受该场的作用,各自向相反方向运动。最后,光生载流子被太阳能电池的两极(即有源反射元件层111和第一金属背板114并在稳压电路进行稳压后收集并存储在蓄电池中,为第一控制电路板115和RIS控制器103供电。当有来自基站106的入射信号射入到该混合可重构智能反射表面上时,RIS控制器103会发送指定反射相位和幅度 的命令至第一控制电路板115,第一控制电路板115通过调整第一相移电路115改变到达有源反射元件的入射信号的相位,由反射式放大器152放大入射信号的幅度,产生有源反射元件反射的波束107;同时RIS控制器103会发送指定反射相位的命令至第二控制电路板123,第二控制电路板123通过调整第二相移电路改变到达无源反射元件的入射信号的相位,产生无源反射元件反射的波束108,如图1所示。此外,有源反射元件层111与第一控制电路板115之间连接有去耦电路116,能够减少直流总线对天线性能的影响,消除阻抗匹配性能的影响。The working principle of the hybrid RIS is as follows: First, after the sunlight is irradiated on the single crystal silicon PN junction on the semiconductor crystal layer through the radiation patch (active reflective element layer) on the active reflective element, electron-hole pairs are generated. . Then a strong built-in electric field is generated in the PN junction potential barrier region, and the photogenerated minority carriers on both sides of the PN junction are affected by the field and move in opposite directions. Finally, the photo-generated carriers are collected and stored in the storage battery by the two poles of the solar cell (i.e. the active reflective element layer 111 and the first metal back plate 114 after the voltage stabilization circuit is stabilized), providing the first control circuit board 115 and the first control circuit board 115. The RIS controller 103 supplies power. When an incident signal from the base station 106 is incident on the hybrid reconfigurable smart reflective surface, the RIS controller 103 will send commands specifying the reflection phase and amplitude to the first control circuit board 115, the first control circuit board 115, A control circuit board 115 changes the phase of the incident signal arriving at the active reflective element by adjusting the first phase shift circuit 115, and the amplitude of the incident signal is amplified by the reflective amplifier 152 to generate the beam 107 reflected by the active reflective element; at the same time, the RIS controller 103 will send a command specifying the reflection phase to the second control circuit board 123, and the second control circuit board 123 will change the phase of the incident signal reaching the passive reflective element by adjusting the second phase shift circuit to generate the beam 108 reflected by the passive reflective element , as shown in Figure 1.

In this embodiment, the control circuit board 303 is disposed under the reflective surface main unit 301 .
具体地,第一反射元件层311位于半导体晶体层312的上表面,分别通过馈线305与去耦电路304和控制电路板303相连接。第一反射元件层311由辐射贴片构成,所述辐射贴片、半导体晶体层312和第一金属背板314构成太阳能电池,辐射贴片作为反射元件层的同时也作为太阳能电池的上电极。半导体晶体层312作为天线的介质基板。第一金属背板314位于半导体晶体层312的下方,作为太阳能电池板的衬底,并用作太阳能电池的一个输出电极。所述太阳能电池之间通过贴片电感层313连接,即贴片电感层313连接各第一反射元件单元的太阳能电池的底部。控制电路板303通过导线307分别与第一金属背板314和混合RIS控制器302连接。Specifically, the first reflective element layer 311 is located on the upper surface of the semiconductor crystal layer 312 , and is respectively connected to the decoupling circuit 304 and the control circuit board 303 through feeders 305 . The first reflection element layer 311 is composed of a radiation patch, the radiation patch, the semiconductor crystal layer 312 and the first metal back plate 314 constitute a solar cell, and the radiation patch is not only the reflection element layer but also the upper electrode of the solar cell. The semiconductor crystal layer 312 serves as a dielectric substrate of the antenna. The first metal back plate 314 is located under the semiconductor crystal layer 312, serves as the substrate of the solar cell panel, and serves as an output electrode of the solar cell. The solar cells are connected through the chip inductor layer 313 , that is, the chip inductor layer 313 is connected to the bottom of the solar cells of each first reflective element unit. The control circuit board 303 is respectively connected to the first metal backplane 314 and the hybrid RIS controller 302 through wires 307 .
在本实施例中,第一反射元件层311为设置在半导体晶体层312上表面的环状辐射贴片,或者采用透明导电材料形成辐射贴片,以便减少遮挡,增强半导体晶体对太阳光的吸收。第一金属背板314采用铜或银。In this embodiment, the first reflective element layer 311 is a ring-shaped radiation patch arranged on the upper surface of the semiconductor crystal layer 312, or a radiation patch is formed by using a transparent conductive material, so as to reduce shading and enhance the absorption of sunlight by the semiconductor crystal . The first metal backplane 314 is made of copper or silver.
需要说明的是,由第一反射元件层311、半导体晶体层312和第一金属背板314构成的太阳能电池的导电层(即半导体晶体层)在反射元件层贴片辐射电磁波时会产生电磁耦合,必然影响到贴片的辐射性能。为了消除耦合效应,需要贴片和导电层相隔很大的距离,但这会使整个可重构智能反射表面的体积变大。鉴于此,本实施例在半导体晶体层312与第一金属背板314之间设置有贴片电感层313。本实施例的贴片电感层313具体为把多个电感串联起来,集成在一个贴片上,形成一个贴片层。进一步地,如图32所示,本实施例的第一反射元件层311还连接有去耦电路304,去耦电路304连接在第一反射元件层311与控制电路板303之间。具体地,该去耦电路304的一端连接到由第一反射表面的每个辐射贴片构成的整个第一反射元件层上面,而另一端连接到第一反射表面的控制电路板上。It should be noted that the conductive layer (i.e. the semiconductor crystal layer) of the solar cell composed of the first reflective element layer 311, the semiconductor crystal layer 312 and the first metal back plate 314 will generate electromagnetic coupling when the reflective element layer patch radiates electromagnetic waves. , will inevitably affect the radiation performance of the patch. To eliminate the coupling effect, a large distance between the patch and the conductive layer is required, which makes the overall reconfigurable smart reflective surface bulky. In view of this, in this embodiment, a chip inductor layer 313 is disposed between the semiconductor crystal layer 312 and the first metal backplane 314 . The chip inductor layer 313 in this embodiment is specifically to connect multiple inductors in series and integrate them on a patch to form a patch layer. Further, as shown in FIG. 32 , the first reflective element layer 311 of this embodiment is further connected with a decoupling circuit 304 , and the decoupling circuit 304 is connected between the first reflective element layer 311 and the control circuit board 303 . Specifically, one end of the decoupling circuit 304 is connected to the entire first reflective element layer formed by each radiation patch of the first reflective surface, and the other end is connected to the control circuit board of the first reflective surface.
需要说明的是,在该有源RIS的实际工作过程中,反射式放大器331需要进行实时供电,当白天阳光充足时,所述太阳能电池产生的电能能够对反射式放大器331进行供电,使得反射式放大器331能够对第一反射元件单元上入射信号的幅度进行调节,同时,相移电路332能够对第一反射元件单元上入射信号的相位进行调节,此时,所述第一反射元件单元处于有源反射模式;当没有阳光时,反射式放大器331不能进行供电而停止工作,相移电路332不需要供电,仍然能够对第一反射元件单元上入射信号的相位进行调节,此时,所述第一反射元件单元处于无源反射模式。It should be noted that during the actual working process of the active RIS, the reflective amplifier 331 needs to be powered in real time. When the sunlight is sufficient during the day, the electric energy generated by the solar cell can supply power to the reflective amplifier 331, so that the reflective amplifier 331 The amplifier 331 can adjust the amplitude of the incident signal on the first reflective element unit, and at the same time, the phase shift circuit 332 can adjust the phase of the incident signal on the first reflective element unit. At this time, the first reflective element unit is in active Source reflection mode; when there is no sunlight, the reflective amplifier 331 cannot supply power and stops working, and the phase shift circuit 332 does not need power supply, and can still adjust the phase of the incident signal on the first reflective element unit. At this time, the first reflective element unit A reflective element unit is in passive reflective mode.
换句话说,本实施例的第一反射元件单元能够根据是否能够进行太阳能供电而自动调节进入有源反射模式或无源反射模式。当有太阳能转换为电能时,反射式放大器开始工作,此 时,RIS为有源状态。当在夜晚或者太阳被遮挡的时候,控制电路板内部只有相移电路工作,此时RIS为无源状态。In other words, the first reflective element unit in this embodiment can automatically adjust to enter the active reflective mode or the passive reflective mode according to whether it can be powered by solar energy. When solar energy is converted into electrical energy, the reflective amplifier starts to work, and at this time, RIS is in an active state. At night or when the sun is blocked, only the phase shift circuit inside the control circuit board works, and the RIS is in a passive state at this time.
进一步地,控制电路板303上还设置有蓄电池,蓄电池用于存储太阳能电池产生的电能并在太阳能电池停止工作时向RIS控制器302供电。RIS控制器的耗电量比较少,本实施例的控制电路板303上设置小型的蓄电池,在太阳能电池停止工作时向RIS控制器302供电,以保证RIS控制器302持续处于工作状态。Further, the control circuit board 303 is also provided with a storage battery, which is used to store the electric energy generated by the solar cell and supply power to the RIS controller 302 when the solar cell stops working. The power consumption of the RIS controller is relatively small. A small storage battery is arranged on the control circuit board 303 of this embodiment to supply power to the RIS controller 302 when the solar cell stops working, so as to ensure that the RIS controller 302 is continuously in the working state.
具体地,当白天阳光充足时,所述太阳能电池产生的电能能够对RIS控制器302实时进行供电,同时对所述蓄电池进行充电,当没有阳光时,转而由所述蓄电池对RIS控制器302进行供电,RIS为无源状态继续正常工作。Specifically, when the sunlight is sufficient during the day, the electric energy generated by the solar cell can supply power to the RIS controller 302 in real time, and at the same time charge the storage battery; Power is supplied, and RIS continues to work normally in a passive state.
进一步地,所述太阳能电池与所述蓄电池之间还连接有稳压电路,以对太阳能电池产生的电能进行稳压后传输至所述蓄电池。具体地,太阳能电池是将光能转换为电能并将其输送到控制电路板303中的蓄电池里面储存起来,由于太阳光不同时间段的强弱不一样,太阳能电池输出的电压受光照的影响太大,因此需要先经过一个稳压电路,再连接到控制电路板303中的所述蓄电池将电能储存在蓄电池中,该蓄电池保证了电源能稳定持续为器件供电,使其可在夜间和白天正常工作。另外,所述太阳能电池产生的电能也需要经过稳压电路的调节才能够为反射式放大器332和RIS控制器302供电。Further, a voltage stabilizing circuit is connected between the solar cell and the storage battery, so as to stabilize the electric energy generated by the solar cell and transmit it to the storage battery. Specifically, the solar cell converts light energy into electrical energy and sends it to the storage battery in the control circuit board 303 for storage. Since the intensity of sunlight varies in different time periods, the output voltage of the solar cell is too affected by the light. Large, so it needs to go through a voltage stabilizing circuit first, and then connect to the storage battery in the control circuit board 303 to store the electric energy in the storage battery. Work. In addition, the electric energy generated by the solar cell also needs to be regulated by a voltage stabilizing circuit to provide power for the reflective amplifier 332 and the RIS controller 302 .

In another embodiment, each first reflective element unit on the first reflective element layer 311 is connected to a phase shift circuit 332, and multiple first reflective element units on the first reflective element layer 311 are simultaneously connected to a reflective type amplifier 331. For the second structure, the working principle is the same as that of the above first structure, except that when the algorithm is optimized, the power of each block (each block includes a plurality of first reflective element units) is reasonably allocated. Compared with the first structure, the second structure can reduce the use of reflective amplifiers and save hardware costs.
本实施例的动态混合可重构智能反射表面的工作原理如下:首先,当阳光充足时,太阳光通过第一反射表面上的辐射贴片(第一反射元件层)照射在半导体晶体层上的单晶硅PN结上后,产生电子-空穴对。继而在PN结势垒区内产生较强的内建电场,PN结两边的光生载流子受该场的作用,各自向相反方向运动。最后,光生载流子被太阳能电池的两极(即第一反射元件 层311和第一金属背板314)收集并在稳压电路进行稳压后实时为控制电路板303和混合RIS控制器302供电。具体地,当有来自基站307的入射信号射入到该有源可重构智能反射表面上时,RIS控制器302发送指定反射相位和幅度的命令至相移电路332和反射式放大器331,相移电路332改变到达有源反射元件的入射信号的相位,反射式放大器331放大入射信号的幅度,产生有源反射元件反射的波束308,如图15所示。The working principle of the dynamic hybrid reconfigurable smart reflective surface of this embodiment is as follows: first, when the sunlight is sufficient, sunlight shines on the semiconductor crystal layer through the radiation patch (first reflective element layer) on the first reflective surface After the monocrystalline silicon PN junction is formed, electron-hole pairs are generated. Then a strong built-in electric field is generated in the PN junction barrier region, and the photogenerated carriers on both sides of the PN junction are affected by the field and move in opposite directions. Finally, the photogenerated carriers are collected by the two poles of the solar cell (i.e., the first reflective element layer 311 and the first metal back plate 314) and supply power to the control circuit board 303 and the hybrid RIS controller 302 in real time after the voltage stabilization circuit performs voltage stabilization. . Specifically, when an incident signal from the base station 307 is incident on the active reconfigurable smart reflective surface, the RIS controller 302 sends a command specifying the reflection phase and amplitude to the phase shift circuit 332 and the reflective amplifier 331, and the phase The shift circuit 332 changes the phase of the incident signal reaching the active reflective element, and the reflective amplifier 331 amplifies the amplitude of the incident signal to generate a beam 308 reflected by the active reflective element, as shown in FIG. 15 .
进一步地,当没有阳光时,反射式放大器331不能进行供电而停止工作,相移电路332不需要供电,仍然能够对第一反射元件单元上入射信号的相位进行调节,此时,所述第一反射元件单元处于无源反射模式。此时,当有来自基站307的入射信号射入到该有源可重构智能反射表面上时,RIS控制器302发送指定反射相位命令至相移电路332,相移电路332改变到达反射元件的入射信号的相位,产生无源反射元件反射的波束。Further, when there is no sunlight, the reflective amplifier 331 cannot supply power and stops working, and the phase shift circuit 332 does not need power supply, and can still adjust the phase of the incident signal on the first reflective element unit. At this time, the first The reflective element unit is in passive reflective mode. At this time, when an incident signal from the base station 307 is incident on the active reconfigurable smart reflective surface, the RIS controller 302 sends a specified reflection phase command to the phase shift circuit 332, and the phase shift circuit 332 changes the signal reaching the reflective element. The phase of the incident signal that produces the beam reflected by the passive reflective element.

In this embodiment, the control circuit board 303 is disposed under the reflective surface main unit 301 .
具体地,玻璃基板316用于将第二反射元件层315与薄膜太阳能电池317隔离开。第二金属背板318位于薄膜太阳能电池317的下方,作为薄膜太阳能电池317的衬底,并用作薄膜太阳能电池317的一个输出电极和辐射贴片的地端。控制电路板303通过导线306与第二金属背板318连接,并通过导线306与混合RIS控制器302相连接。Specifically, the glass substrate 316 is used to isolate the second reflective element layer 315 from the thin film solar cell 317 .
