dc.description.abstractTerahertz communications offers a massive potential for the prospective beyond 5G wireless systems, as the band offers huge bandwidth and data rates as compared to the existing sub 6 GHz bands, which are almost saturated. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of wireless communications over the Terahertz-band (0.75–10 THz) at various atmospheric altitudes, considering different transmission distances and directions by realistically calculating the absorption loss, which is the major limiting factor affecting the propagation of THz waves through the earth’s atmosphere. Four practical altitudes are considered, corresponding to Drone-to-Drone (D2D), Jet plane-to-Jet plane (J2J), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-to-UAV, and near-space Satellite-to-Satellite (S2S) communications. Following comparison and validation with two real-world experimental results from the literature measured at the sea-level, Line by Line Radiative Transfer Models (LBLRTM) is used to obtain realistic THz-band transmittance values against each altitude case and setting. Subsequently, absorption loss and total path loss values are computed and mean total path loss sensitivity is further observed against a range of transmission directions via zenith angle variations from vertically-up to vertically-down communication. Numerical results show that as the altitude increases, the concentration of the water vapor molecules decreases, enabling the communication over the THz-band (0.75–10 THz) to be more feasible as compared to the sea-level communication. Moreover, the total usable bandwidth results over the THz-band (0.75–10 THz) exhibit that the upper bounds of 8.218 THz, 9.142 THz and 9.25 THz are usable up to the transmission distance of 2 km against the total antenna gains of 80 dBi for J2J, U2U and S2S communication cases, respectively.en_US
