Multiband array configuration for joint communication and sensing

Develop configuration strategies for multiband antenna arrays that jointly optimize communication and sensing performance across upper mid-band and other bands, accounting for diverse array types, hybrid architectures, and band-dependent propagation features.

Background

Upper mid-band operation will likely use extremely large arrays with hybrid architectures and multiband designs integrating different array types per band.

The paper emphasizes that moving across bands introduces varying channel features and bandwidths, making joint configuration nontrivial.

Effective multiband configuration is needed to fully leverage cross-band diversity for both communication throughput and sensing accuracy.
