Jornet\n\nNortheastern University\n\nAbstrac t: The need for higher data-rates and more ubiquitous connectivity for an ever-increasing number of wirelessly connected devices motivates the explo ration of uncharted spectral bands. In this context\, Terahertz (THz)-band (0.1–10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key wireless technology o f the next decade. The very large bandwidth available at THz frequencies ( tens to hundreds of consecutive GHz) can alleviate the spectrum scarcity p roblem while enabling wireless Terabit-per-second (Tb/s) links in personal and local area networks\, backhaul for urban and rural areas\, and even s pace networks. Moreover\, the very small size of THz transceivers and ante nnas (submillimetric at THz frequencies) leads to miniature communication devices with applications in wireless networks on chip\, wireless nanosens or networks and the Internet of Nano-Things\, to name a few. Nevertheless\ , there are several roadblocks that need to be overcome to tap in the THz band\, ranging from the lack of high-power THz sources\, high sensitivity detectors and steerable directional antenna systems\, to advanced signal p rocessing\, communication and networking techniques that can make the most of the ultra-broadband THz channel while overcoming the challenging propa gation characteristics of THz waves. In this talk\, the state of the art a nd open challenges to enable THz communication systems will be presented\, with a special emphasis on innovative platforms for experimental THz rese arch.\n\nBio: Josep M.
