| contents | In this letter, we propose a novel Movable Superdirective Pairs (MSP) approach that combines movable antennas with superdirective pair arrays to enhance the performance of millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications on the user side. By controlling the rotation angles and positions of superdirective antenna pairs, the proposed MSP approach maximizes the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of multipath signals without relying on phase shifters or attenuators. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional superdirective antennas, which are typically restricted to the endfire direction and suffer from reduced scanning bandwidth and increased complexity. An efficient algorithm based on alternating optimization and the gradient projection method is developed to solve the non-convex optimization problem of antennas' joint rotating positioning. Simulation results demonstrate that the MSP approach achieves significant performance gains over fixed-position array (FPA) employing Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC), while reducing system complexity and hardware costs. |
