| contents | Beam split is a critical challenge in wideband THz massive MIMO systems, arising from frequency-dependent beam misalignment that degrades communication performance, particularly in scenarios with narrow beamwidths and large arrays. This work proposes an angular-based hybrid beamforming framework that leverages angular spread to mitigate the beam split effect. Instead of relying on precise angular spread modeling, we utilize coarse angular information to guide the design of subcarrier-specific beams, effectively reducing misalignment across subcarriers. By broadening the effective beamwidth through angular spread, the proposed method enhances user coverage and alleviates beam split without requiring complex time-delay units or hardware-intensive solutions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves significant improvements in spectral efficiency and beamforming accuracy while maintaining low computational and hardware complexity. This work provides a practical and efficient solution for addressing beam split in next-generation wideband THz communication systems. |
