On Half-Power Beamwidth of Intelligent Reflecting Surface [PDF]
Half-power beamwidth (HPBW) is a key parameter to measure the performance of antenna array and the newly proposed intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) systems. In this paper, we first establish a system model for IRS in uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform rectangular array (URA) configurations, then the IRS HPBW in both cases are derived under the ...

SWIPT With Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces Under Spatial Correlation [PDF]
Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) can be beneficial to both information and energy transfer, due to the gains achieved by their multiple elements. In this work, we deal with the impact of spatial correlation between the IRS elements, in the context of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer.
