Quadratic fractional optimization problems frequently arise in wireless communications. This paper introduces an enhanced semidefinite optimization relaxation approach for tackling signal design challenges associated with quadratic double–ratio minimax optimization in complex space. It results in two algorithms that offer a global optimum solution for the problem.
