The invention belongs to the field of computational
electromagnetism, and provides a multi-state
simulation method for a reconfigurable intelligent surface, which is used for achieving the purposes of shortening calculation time and reducing memory consumption. The method comprises the steps that firstly, a
unit model of the reconfigurable intelligent surface is obtained, the
unit model is expanded to form a 3 * 3 feature
subunit basic array, the basic array is regarded as an invariant geometric structure item, and a two-dimensional
equivalent circuit model is regarded as a variable state description item; then, obtaining a
system matrix of the reconfigurable intelligent surface through
feature extraction of an invariant geometric structure item and a variable state description item, and constructing a
system equation; and finally, solving the
system equation to obtain the unknown quantity of the
electromagnetic field to be solved, thereby calculating the electromagnetic characteristics of the reconfigurable intelligent surface and completing the multi-state
simulation of the reconfigurable intelligent surface. According to the method, the repeated calculation part is effectively optimized in the multi-state
simulation process of the reconfigurable intelligent surface, the memory consumption is remarkably reduced, and the simulation time is greatly shortened under the condition that the solving precision is guaranteed.
