Abstract
The extended near-field range in future mm-Wave and sub-THz wireless networks
demands a precise and efficient near-field channel simulator for understanding
and optimizing wireless communications in this less-explored regime. This paper
presents NirvaWave, a novel near-field channel simulator, built on scalar
diffraction theory and Fourier principles, to provide precise wave propagation
response in complex wireless mediums under custom user-defined transmitted EM
signals. NirvaWave offers an interface for investigating novel near-field
wavefronts, e.g., Airy beams, Bessel beams, and the interaction of mmWave and
sub-THz signals with obstructions, reflectors, and scatterers. The simulation
run-time in NirvaWave is orders of magnitude lower than its EM software
counterparts that directly solve Maxwell Equations. Hence, NirvaWave enables a
user-friendly interface for large-scale channel simulations required for
developing new model-driven and data-driven techniques. We evaluated the
performance of NirvaWave through direct comparison with EM simulation software.
Finally, we have open-sourced the core codebase of NirvaWave in our GitHub
repository (https://github.com/vahidyazdnian1378/NirvaWave).
