In the coming decade, we'll see the rollout of the intelligent information society—a highly digitalized, intelligent civilization that draws inspiration from AI and runs on global data. Next-generation or modern communication networks are crucial to bringing this ambitious plan to fruition because of their promise of universal connectivity, full 360-degree wireless coverage, and the seamless integration of all necessary functions to power truly vertical apps. Research in this area has shown that the Intelligent Reflective Surface (IRS) combined with wireless environment management capability is a viable solution for 6G technology. To be more specific, the IRS is capable of precise 3D passive beam formation due to the wavefront's phases, amplitude, frequency, and polarization being controlled intelligently by tunable components. In this article, we provide an overview of the IRS, including categorizing recent IRS research theory, and we also review IRS's structure, controller, tunable chips, and design hardware architecture. Finally, as a timely review of the IRS, our summary will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners involved.
