Accurate channel models are crucial for the design and development of such THz communication and sensing systems. As the THz channel exhibits unique features including high propagation loss, sparsity, and near-field properties (with ultramassive multiple-input multiple-output systems), deterministic ray-tracing (RT), which can simulate wireless channels in a site-specific manner based on the high-frequency approximation of Maxwell's equation, is considered suitable for THz channel modeling. However, a thorough analysis of RT-based THz channel modeling and its extensive experimental validation (especially at 300 GHz) is still missing in the literature. In this article, we develop an RT modeling framework tailored for THz channels, which incorporates processes of environment reconstruction and electromagnetic calculation, material calibration, and acceleration. Then, three measurements with 14 locations ranging from 3 to 58 m covering frequency bands at 300 and 100 GHz are used to validate the developed RT framework. It is observed that there is an excellent match for the dominant paths between the real-world measurements and the RT results, and the near-field characteristics are realistically and accurately captured in the modeling. Furthermore, the validated RT framework is employed to enable an in-depth THz channel characterization at 300 GHz in an indoor hall scenario. This analysis is rooted in extensive channel data across 30 locations, consisting of experimental data at 12 locations in the first measurement and RT-simulated data for another 18 locations. The developed RT framework and the channel characterization aim to provide insights for future THz channel modeling and standardization studies.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"15 3","pages":"319-331"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thickness difference between the horizontal outer tubes and the vertical circular tubes brings a high birefringence, which can be further improved by the structural difference attributable to the nested tubes. Moreover, the nested tubes and four curved thin walls also reduce waveguide losses. The simulated results show that the birefringence of the designed waveguide at 0.14 THz is 0.00165, and the <italic>x</i>-polarized and <italic>y</i>-polarized loss is 0.096 dB/cm and 0.104 dB/cm, respectively. In addition, fabricated waveguides by three-dimensional printing technology are characterized by a single-frequency system working in 0.14 THz and a THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system. The experimental results by the THz-TDS system show that the waveguide has two low-loss antiresonant windows (0.13–0.16 THz and 0.26–0.33 THz), which agree with the simulated results. The birefringence of the waveguide at 0.14 THz is 0.0038, and the transmission loss of the two polarizations is 0.17 and 0.165 dB/cm, respectively. Moreover, the waveguide achieves minimum experimental <italic>x</i>-polarized losses of 0.077 dB/cm @0.29 THz and <italic>y</i>-polarized losses of 0.073 dB/cm @0.29 THz. The polarization ratio of the waveguide measured by the single-frequency system also verified the polarization-maintaining ability, which changes from 96.81% to 96.46% after the 0.14 THz wave passes through the waveguide. This proves that our proposed waveguide can effectively transmit low-terahertz waves while maintaining the direction of incident linearly polarized waves.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"15 2","pages":"250-259"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143553178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sub-THz wireless link employs an optoelectronic transmitter that generates digital subcarriers by modulating a single free-running laser with a high-bandwidth electro-optic inphase and quadrature modulator. A unitraveling-carrier photodiode downconverts the transmitted signal from the optical to the sub-THz domain, and the signal is transmitted by a lens-integrated leaky-wave antenna, offering a gain of up to 30 dBi and a wide beam-steering range of approximately 51° in the horizontal plane. The optoelectronic transmitter can simultaneously address multiple receiver units, i.e., users, hence enabling efficient multiuser operation. A sub-THz electronic receiver unit operating from 280 to 320 GHz is used for reception. In a proof-of-concept experiment, the sub-THz wireless link is implemented in a lecture hall scenario with one transmitter and two receiver units. The distance between the transmitter and receivers is 16 m, with the two receivers having a maximum spacing of 3.3 m. Measurements have been conducted for single-, dual-, and up to four-user configurations using quadrature phase-shift keying and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation modulation schemes. To the best of the authors' knowledge, record-high data rates of up to 80 Gbps for a single user, 40 Gbps for dual users, and 20 Gbps for four users are demonstrated for the first time in a sub-THz P2MP system.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"15 3","pages":"332-343"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10843358","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna consists of 80 slot radiating elements of twelve distinct sizes corresponding to half of the uniformly sampled wavelengths within the operating bandwidth. These elements are arranged in a Mills-Cross configuration for antenna designs A and B, supported by an innovatively shaped air-filled cavity. The cavity is engineered to support multiple higher-order, high-Q resonance modes, generating highly frequency-diverse, pseudorandom radiation patterns. The frequency-diverse antenna is fed by a three-section impedance-matching transitional direct waveguide and is fabricated using advanced silicon micromachining technology. This article comprehensively analyzes the antenna's radiation patterns and impedance matching across the entire waveguide band.
