DESCRIPTION:Small satellites have shorter development cycles and lower cost
 s than the traditional satellites in low-earth and geostationary orbits. T
 hese advantages and the ultra-wide spectrum availability in the terahertz 
 (THz) band enable profound potential for inter-satellite links (ISLs) to a
 chieve ultra-high throughput in both near-Earth and deep-space orbits. In 
 this talk\, we will discuss the ISL channels at THz band\, their character
 istics\, as well as the link capacity. In particular\, we will take a clos
 er look at the propagation channel effects in both Earth’s upper atmosph
 ere and deep space to demonstrate the feasibility of THz band for ISLs. We
  will then discuss a channel model that considers both the orbital perturb
 ation effect and leverages diversity in both polarization and frequency do
 main for THz band inter-small-satellite communications. In addition\, we w
 ill provide numerical results to demonstrate the achievable throughput in 
 both near-Earth and deep-space links at THz bands. Finally\, we will look 
 at some emerging research trends and open problems in satellite communicat
 ion and remote sensing that will bridge the gap of the digital divide in m
 assive rural areas.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Shuai Nie\, \n\nLansing\, Michigan\
