High Frequencies, Higher Potential: Redefining Movable Antennas with Polarization
Speaker: Yulin SHAO
Date: 12/11/2024 (Tuesday)
Time: 15:00 – 16:00
Language: English
Venue: N21-5007 (Exhibition Hall)

Abstract:
This talk introduces the polarization-aware movable antenna (PAMA) framework, a novel approach that incorporates polarization effects into the design and optimization of movable antennas (MAs). While MAs have shown promise in enhancing wireless communication performance, existing research largely overlooks the impact of polarization, especially at higher frequencies where line-of-sight (LOS) links dominate. By rigorously modeling three-dimensional (3D) antenna translation and rotation with explicit consideration of polarization, PAMA demonstrates that significant performance gains can be achieved even in higher frequency bands by facilitating optimal polarization matching between transmitter and receiver. This advancement extends the effectiveness of MAs beyond low-frequency, multipath-rich environments and highlights the crucial role of incorporating polarization considerations into the system design. Our findings pave the way for enhanced efficiency, better link reliability, and increased data throughput in future wireless networks with MAs.
