This paper delves into the intricate aspects of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) in the antenna design. It investigates the properties of the array factor of RIS, highlighting
the significance of phase shifts in establishing of the reflect path. Additionally, the paper investigates spatial positions requiring identical phase shifts, nullification of the array factor, the count of total maxima, second maximum determination (amplitude of the second lobe), and the calculation of the 3dB bandwidth. They are very useful for RIS-assisted radio communication systems.
