Channel Modeling and System Concepts for Future Terahertz Communications: Getting Ready for Advances Beyond 5G

Future terahertz (THz) communications will utilize the frequency spectrum around 300 GHz. This technology provides a promising solution for future high-data-rate communications due to the high available bandwidth. However, the unfavorable channel characteristics are a major barrier for the realization of THz communications. To address the challenges caused by the unfavorable propagation conditions, the world?s first THz communication standard includes a channel-modeling document (CMD).
