The sixth-generation networks envision the terahertz (THz) band as one of the key enabling technologies because of its ultrawide bandwidth. To combat the severe attenuation, the THz wireless systems employ large arrays, wherein the near-field beam-split (NB) severely degrades the accuracy of channel acquisition. Contrary to prior works that examine only either narrowband beamforming or far-field models, we estimate the wideband THz channel via an NB-aware orthogonal matching pursuit (NBA-OMP) approach. We design an NBA dictionary of near-field steering vectors by exploiting the corresponding angular and range deviation. Our OMP algorithm accounts for this deviation thereby ipso facto mitigating the effect of NB. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation technique for wideband THz systems.
