Performance Analysis of Future Multigigabit Wireless Communication Systems at THz Frequencies With Highly Directive Antennas in Realistic Indoor Environments

Abstract

In this paper, a simulation environment encompassing realistic propagation conditions and system parameters is employed in order to analyze the performance of future multigigabit indoor communication systems at tetrahertz frequencies. The influence of high-gain antennas on transmission aspects is investigated. Transmitter position for optimal signal coverage is also analyzed. Furthermore, signal coverage maps and achievable data rates are calculated for generic indoor scenarios with and without furniture for a variety of possible propagation conditions.
