    Abstract: Designs and control techniques for passive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (pMIMO) surfaces are provided. An example array of reconfigurable reflective elements includes a plurality of unit cells each comprising a cross-slot radiating element, a first varactor diode disposed across a first end of the cross-slot radiating element and configured to control polarization in a first plane, and a second varactor diode disposed across a second end of the cross-slot radiating element and configured to control polarization in a second plane, and a controller coupled to the first varactor diode and the second varactor diode and configured to provide control signals to the first varactor diode and the second varactor diode to vary a direction of a reflected signal.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure related to devices, wireless communication apparatuses, methods, and other aspects of passive multiple input multiple output. In some aspects, an apparatus is provided that includes a first radio frequency (RF) transmission line having a first terminated with a quarter wavelength grounded transmission line, and a first array of antennas including a plurality of antenna elements. The apparatus also includes a switch array including a corresponding switch for each antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements of the first array of antennas, to selectively connect each antenna element to the first RF transmission line, and path lengths selectable by the switches at half wavelength distances for passive transmission. The apparatus also includes or more lens elements configured to modify wireless inputs signals to the first array of antennas and to modify wireless output signals from the first array of antennas.
