| contents | This paper provides a thorough mathematical analysis of continuous movable antenna (MA) arrays. Focusing on the multiple antenna case, we consider a linear antenna array with multiple fixed antenna elements that moves along a line. We assume a full, spatially coherent correlation model and continuous positioning of the array. We provide asymptotically exact approximations to the upper tail of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), considering both correlated and uncorrelated antenna elements in the array. We also obtain a novel closed-form expression for the level crossing rate (LCR) of the SNR under correlated array elements, where a non-separable two-dimensional correlation is present. The analysis is validated through simulations, confirming both the accuracy of the LCR expressions and the tightness of the cdf bounds in the upper tail. Numerical results show that the proposed MA array outperforms single fluid antenna and fixed array systems, with reduced inter-element spacing providing further performance gains. |
