Terahertz Wireless Communications

by Chong Han, Josep Miquel Jornet, Vitaly Petrov, Ian F. Akyildiz

Overview

Understand the future of wireless communications with this timely guide

Terahertz technologies are designed to allow ultra-high-speed wireless extension of the optical fibers that make up communication networks. Wireless communications in the Terahertz band are an important component of future wireless systems. The characteristics of this cutting-edge technology promise to bring wireless communications and sensing into a vast range of new fields and areas of consumer production.

Terahertz Wireless Communications offers an overview of this technology and its myriad of applications. Across 9 detailed chapters, the authors cover subjects ranging from terahertz enabled devices to physical testbeds and demonstration systems. The resulting volume plugs readers directly into the future of wireless communications technology.

Terahertz Wireless Communications readers will also find:

• Overview of applications in areas from next-generation communications, air quality monitoring to bio-sensing in healthcare technology
• Detailed discussion of topics including propagation channels, link layer technologies, integrated sensing, and more
• Open research challenges and examples to enable practical deployment of key knowledges

Terahertz Wireless Communications is an ideal reference for professionals and researchers working in 6G, antennas, wireless signals, and related areas, as well as graduate students studying these technologies.
