In this correspondence, we study deploying movable antenna (MA) array in a wideband multiple-input-single-output (MISO) communication system, where near-field (NF) channel model is considered. To alleviate beam squint effect, we propose to maximize the minimum analog beamforming gain across the entire wideband spectrum by appropriately adjusting MAs' positions, which is a highly challenging task. By introducing a slack variable and adopting the cutting-the-edge smoothed-gradient-descent-ascent (SGDA) method, we develop algorithms to resolve the aforementioned challenge. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms and demonstrate the benefit of utilizing MA array to mitigate beam squint effect in NF wideband system.

In this paper, we study employing movable components on both base station (BS) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) in a wideband terahertz (THz) multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system, where the BS is equipped with a movable antenna (MA) array and the IRS consists of movable subarrays. To alleviate double beam squint effect caused by the coupling of beam squint at the BS and IRS, we propose to maximize the minimal received power across a wide THz spectrum by delicately configuring the positions of MAs and IRS subarrays, which is highly challenging. By adopting majorization-minimization (MM) methodology, we develop an algorithm to tackle the aforementioned optimization. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm and the benefit of utilizing movable components on the BS and IRS to mitigate double beam squint effect in wideband THz communications.
