Abstract

This paper provides a deterministic channel model for a scenario where wireless connectivity is established through a reflection off a smooth planar surface of an infinite extent. The developed model is rigorously built upon the physics of wave propagation and is as precise as tight are the unboundedness and smoothness assumptions on the surface. This model allows establishing how line-of-sight multiantenna communication is altered by a reflection off an electrically large surface, a situation of high interest for mmWave and terahertz frequencies.
