Non-Diffracting Beams for Near-Field Millimeter-Wave Communications: Advantage Regimes Under Aperture and Blockage Constraints
Yifeng Qin, Jing Chen, Zhi Hao Jiang +2
Near-field blockage changes the beam-design objective in millimeter-wave links: maximizing the unblocked on-axis gain does not necessarily maximize blocked-link performance. This p…

Pearcey-Inspired Quartic Wavefront Shaping for Obstructed Near-Field Multi-User Communications
Yifeng Qin, Jing Chen, Zhi Hao Jiang
Radiative near-field (RNF) beamforming is vulnerable to blockages that disrupt Fresnel zones. This letter proposes an obstruction-unaware wavefront shaping strategy inspired by cat…

Airy Beamforming for Radiative Near-Field MU-XL-MIMO: Overcoming Half-Space Blockage
Yifeng Qin, Jing Chen, Zhi Hao Jiang +3
The move to next-generation wireless communications with extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELAAs) brings the communications into the radiative near-field (RNF) region, where di…
