Popis: A novel framework for covert communications aided by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is proposed. In this general framework, the use of multiport network theory for modelling the RIS consider various aspects that traditional RIS models in communication theory often overlook, including mutual coupling between elements and the impact of structural scattering. Moreover, the transmitter has only limited knowledge about the channels of the warden and the intended receiver. The proposed approach is validated through numerical results, demonstrating that communication with the legitimate user is successfully achieved while satisfying the covertness constraint.
