Abstract
The ever-increasing capacity demand (up to Tbps in the foreseeable future) in wireless connectivity can supposed be satisfied by terahertz communications in the band from 100 GHz to 10 THz. This has been studied over short channel distances in laboratories using higher order modulation formats (QPSK, QAM). However, only very few reports on the THz channel performance in outdoor adverse weathers conditions are available due to the involved experimental difficulties. In this article, we report the performance of terahertz channels in emulated rain by utilizing a broadband pulse source and a 16-QAM modulated data stream. We observe that, a not precisely known of raindrop size distribution can be a major source of uncertainty for theoretical precipitation of power attenuation and bit error rate (BER). We also find that the channel degradation in rain is mainly due to power attenuation.
期刊介绍：
The Nano Communication Networks Journal is an international, archival and multi-disciplinary journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in all aspects of nanoscale communication and networking. Theoretical research contributions presenting new techniques, concepts or analyses; applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments; and tutorial and survey manuscripts are published.
Nano Communication Networks is a part of the COMNET (Computer Networks) family of journals within Elsevier. The family of journals covers all aspects of networking except nanonetworking, which is the scope of this journal.
