In this paper, we consider a stacked intelligent metasurface (SIM) with the ability to perform beamforming in the electromagnetic (EM) wave domain. We develop a path-loss model that allows us to compute the received power of the signal after passing through the SIM. Based on the proposed path-loss m...
