Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

A Beyond-Diagonal RIS, or BD-RIS, is a reconfigurable intelligent surface whose internal scattering elements are interconnected rather than independently tunable, giving it a non-diagonal scattering matrix that can redirect and shape radio waves with more flexibility than conventional reconfigurable surfaces; a BD-RIS prototype is a physical hardware build used to test this wave-manipulation capability.

Live readiness status

Status as of the current dateline

AI-assisted assembly · derived results

As of 2026-07-23, verified readiness is 18 (claimed 30, reported 22, gap 12) — Growing evidence strength; current signals suggest Too early to adopt.

The readiness fact belongs to the canonical Readiness Verdict for Beyond-Diagonal RIS (BD-RIS) Prototype.
