| contents | The increasing carrier frequencies and growing physical dimensions of antenna arrays in modern wireless systems are driving renewed interest in localization and sensing under near-field conditions. In this paper, we analyze the Ziv-Zakai Bound (ZZB) for near-field localization and sensing operated with large antenna arrays, which offers a tighter characterization of estimation accuracy compared to traditional bounds such as the Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB), especially in low signal-to-noise ratio or threshold regions. Leveraging spherical wavefront and array geometry in the signal model, we evaluate the ZZB for distance and angle estimation, investigating the dependence of the accuracy on key signal and system parameters such as array geometry, wavelength, and target position. Our analysis highlights the transition behavior of the ZZB and underscores the fundamental limitations and opportunities for accurate near-field sensing. |
