DESCRIPTION:The frequency range from 0.1-1 THz is of great interest for bey
 ond 5G (B5G) wireless communications\, due to the enormous amount of (curr
 ently fallow) spectrum in that band. In order to assess the potential of t
 his band\, and anticipate possible pitfalls\, measurement and modeling of 
 the corresponding propagation channels is the vital first step. This is pa
 rticularly relevant since many of the dominant propagation effects are sig
 nificantly different from those at the traditional cm-wave frequencies (i.
 e.\, microwave range). This talk will first provide a review of physical p
 ropagation processes and how they are distinct at THz channels. We then pr
 oceed to the measurement techniques\, which are considerably more challeng
 ing than at lower frequencies\, as well as deterministic (ray tracing/laun
 ching) methods for high frequency ranges. We will then review key measurem
 ent results\, emphasizing outdoor environments\, for which we recently per
 formed the first directionally resolved long-distance (up to 100m) measure
 ments. Throughout the talk\, impact of the propagation on the system desig
 n will be emphasized.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Andreas F. Molisch\, \n\nVictoria
