Abstract

Ultra-wideband terahertz (THz) wireless communication systems are anticipated as a promising solution for applications with high bandwidth requirements in an indoor environment. To design the communication system operating at THz or sub-THz frequencies, it is important to acquire fundamental knowledge about the radio propagation characteristics at those frequencies. The main target of this paper is to conduct power angular spectrum (PAS) measurements at sub-THz frequencies of 90, 95, and 100 GHz in a line-of-sight (LOS) office corridor environment, and validate the ray tracing (RT) simulation results with the measurements. A sophisticated photonics-based measurement setup with high accuracy is utilized for measurement, whereas, an in-house built RT tool is used for simulation. The PAS is measured and simulated at eight different locations and a decent agreement is achieved between both. Whereas the other channel characteristics like root mean square delay spread (RMS-DS) and angular spread (RMS-AS) are only investigated through RT simulations. In the case of direct orientation, the root mean square error of about 1.5, 0.9, and 3.7 dB is found between the measured and simulated received signal power level at 90, 95, and 100 GHz, respectively.
