DFC01: Trends in THz Communications

Friday, August 22  16:00-18:00,  Room #21

Session Chairs: Tadao Nagatsuma, Ci-Ling Pan

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the application of terahertz waves to broadband wireless communications. In particular, the use of frequencies above 275 GHz is one of the strong concerns among radio scientists and engineers, because these frequency bands have not yet allocated at specific active services, and there is a possibility to employ extremely large bandwidths for ultra-broadband wireless communications. This session will focus on recent advances in ultrahigh-speed wireless communications technologies using carrier frequencies from 100 GHz to 1 THz. Enabling technologies such as signal generators, modulators, detectors, amplifiers, antennas, and filters, system demonstrations, applications, wave propagation/interference, and standardization issues will be discussed.
