| contents | With the deployment of large antenna arrays at high-frequency bands, future wireless communication systems are likely to operate in the radiative near-field (NF). Unlike far-field beam steering, NF beams can be focused on a spatial region with finite depth, enabling user multiplexing in both range and angle. In NF multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems, achievable rates are limited by interference arising from sidelobes in both the axial (range) and lateral (angle) dimensions. This work investigates how axial sidelobes (ASLs) vary with array geometry. Closed-form array gain expressions are derived to characterize ASLs for uniform planar arrays. Analytical results show that the uniform square array (USA) yields the lowest ASLs, followed by the uniform concentric circular array (UCCA), uniform linear array (ULA), and uniform circular array (UCA). Specifically, the USA achieves a peak sidelobe level (PSLL) of -17.6 dB versus -7.9 dB for the UCA. Numerical simulations confirm that the USA provides superior sidelobe suppression and highest sumrate performance. |
