报告摘要：

Over the last few years, wireless data traffic has drastically increased due to a change in the way today’s society creates, shares and consumes information. This change has been accompanied by an increasing demand for much higher speed wireless communication anywhere, anytime. In particular, wireless data rates have doubled every eighteen months over the last three decades and are quickly approaching the capacity of wired communication systems. Following this trend, wireless Terabit-per-second (Tbps) links are expected to become a reality within the next five to ten years. Advanced physical layer solutions and, more importantly, new spectral bands will be required to support these extremely high data rates.

In this context, Terahertz Band communication is envisioned as a key wireless technology to satisfy this demand, by alleviating the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitations of current wireless systems, and enabling a plethora of long-awaited applications in diverse fields. The THz Band is the spectral band that spans the frequencies between 0.1 THz and 10 THz. While the frequency regions immediately below and above this band (the microwaves and the far infrared, respectively) have been extensively investigated, this is still one of the least- explored frequency bands for communication.
