On the Performance of Continuous Aperture Array (CAPA)-Based Wireless Communications
The performance of continuous aperture array (CAPA)-based wireless communications is analyzed in an uplink scenario. An analytical framework is proposed to characterize uplink CAPA-based transmission using electromagnetic field theories. On this basis, new expressions are derived for the channel capacity in a single-user scenario and the sum-rate capacity in a multiuser scenario, along with the capacity-achieving decoding schemes. These findings are proved to differ greatly from those established for conventional spatially discrete (SPD) arrays. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate that CAPA offers significant capacity gains compared to the SPD array.
