Statistical Channel Model for FSO Systems Assisted by a UAV-Mounted IRS

Ferdaous Tarhouni, Vasilis K. Papanikolaou, Laura Cottatellucci +2

Integrating optical intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) into aerial platforms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has been proposed to relax the line-of-sight (LoS) constr…

CMT-Aware Channel Modeling and Transmit-Power Minimization for Pinching-Antenna Systems

Chuang Luo, Gui Zhou, Vasilis K. Papanikolaou +2

This letter investigates transmit-power minimization for multiuser pinching-antenna system (PAS) from a coupled-mode-theory (CMT)-aware perspective. Existing CMT-based pinching ant…

Closed-form Model for Radiation Pattern of Pinching Antennas

Muhammad Zubair, Vasilis K. Papanikolaou, Robert Schober

In this article, we develop an analytical radiation-pattern model for pinching-antenna systems (PASS) based on a two-dimensional dielectric slab waveguide. The model is derived in…

Clustered Movable Pinching Antennas: Realizing Beamforming Gains and Target Diversity in ISAC Systems with Look-Angle-Dependent RCS

Ata Khalili, Brikena Kaziu, Vasilis K. Papanikolaou +1

We investigate a novel integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system enabled by pinching antennas (PAs), which are dynamically activated along a dielectric waveguide. Unlike p…

Resolving the Double Near-Far Problem via Wireless Powered Pinching-Antenna Networks

Vasilis K. Papanikolaou, Gui Zhou, Brikena Kaziu +4

This letter introduces a novel wireless powered communication system, referred to as a wireless powered pinching-antenna network (WPPAN), utilizing a single waveguide with pinching…
