Wireless channel capacity estimation in the THz band

Carrier frequencies beyond 300 GHz have recently received attention primarily due to the potential for impressive capacity for future multi-gigabit wireless communication systems. In this context, this paper considers the different attenuation factors at the THz band and estimates the available bandwidth and the corresponding maximum data rate in the THz band. Results show that capacity values beyond 1Tbps can be achieved under certain conditions for the transmitted power, antenna gains and weather conditions.
