AGILE, LOW-POWER, RECONFIGURABLE, AND LARGE-SCALE WIRELESS TERAHERTZ BACKSCATTER NETWORKS

Abstract

Frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising bands for the next generation of wireless communication systems (beyond 5G) because of the wide swaths of available spectrum. The high propagation attenuation at THz frequencies necessitates the use of large-scale antenna arrays to achieve directional transmission. Further, ultra-wideband communication is power-hungry. Hence, existing THz node architectures require complex front-ends in which the power consumption scales with bandwidth and beam directivity. This proposal develops new foundations for agile, low-power, and scalable THz wireless networks.
