White Paper: Fundamentals Of THz Technology For 6G

By Dr. Taro Eichler, Robert Ziegler, Rohde & Schwarz

The prospect of offering large contiguous frequency bands to meet the demand for extremely high data transfer rates in the Tbit/s range is making terahertz (THz) waves a key research area for the next generation of wireless communications (6G).

This white paper offers an overview of the fundamentals of THz waves and their properties for various applications with a focus on 6G based communications.

In this white paper you will learn more about:

• Key performance requirements and research areas of 6G
• THz based communication and sensing
• Generation of THz radiation
• High-frequency semiconductor technologies
• Channel propagation measurements
