Multi-User MIMO Enhancement using Metasurface Wavefront Bending (MWB)
Xiaolu Yang, Oscar Cespedes Vicente, Christophe Caloz
This paper introduces metasurface wavefront bending (MWB) to enhance spatial multiplexing in radiative nearfield multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. By increasing spherical-wave curvature, MWB strengthens range-dependent phase variations across the receiv…
