Abstract
Abstract Millimeter (mmWave) and sub-terahertz communication is a key technology to support high data rate requirements of 5G and B5G mobile networks. However this field is still in its initial development stage because of the various technical difficulties in its practical implementation due to inherently distinct propagation properties of mmWave/sub-terahertz frequencies. A thorough investigation of mmWave/sub-terahertz communication link is required in order to successfully deploy these frequency bands in 5G and B5G mobile networks. This paper investigates the effect of atmospheric conditions like dry air, humidity, rain, snow, fog and foliage on the performance of the mmWave/sub-terahertz link. The work also presents a mathematical analysis of the coverage of mmWave/sub-terahertz communication link and investigates the effect of various parameters like frequency, bandwidth, transceiver antenna gain, path loss coefficient (LOS, NLOS case) and system noise on its performance.
期刊介绍:
Frequenz is one of the leading scientific and technological journals covering all aspects of RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering. It is a peer-reviewed, bi-monthly published journal.
Frequenz was first published in 1947 with a circulation of 7000 copies, focusing on telecommunications. Today, the major objective of Frequenz is to highlight current research activities and development efforts in RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering throughout a wide frequency spectrum ranging from radio via microwave up to THz frequencies.
RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering is a very active area of Research & Development as well as of Applications in a wide variety of fields. It has been the key to enabling technologies responsible for phenomenal growth of satellite broadcasting, wireless communications, satellite and terrestrial mobile communications and navigation, high-speed THz communication systems. It will open up new technologies in communications, radar, remote sensing and imaging, in identification and localization as well as in sensors, e.g. for wireless industrial process and environmental monitoring as well as for biomedical sensing.
