Abstract:
With the combination of extra-large arrays and high frequencies, near-field transmissions have become increasingly prevalent. In this paper, we investigate the angular-domain representation of near-field line-of-sight (LoS) extra-large multiple-input-multiple-output (XL-MIMO) channels. Specifically, we first demonstrate the structured sparsity of the near-field LoS channel in the angular domain. By leveraging this sparsity property, we propose an effective spatial bandwidth channel representation method. This method characterizes near-field LoS XL-MIMO channels as a superposition of multiple plane wave components within the effective spatial band between transceiver arrays. Finally, simulation results validate the equivalence between the proposed representation and the existing antenna domain channel model and demonstrate the effects of array geometries on the effective spatial bandwidth.
