Millimeter Wave And Terahertz Devices For 5g And 6g Systems

Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Devices for 5G and 6G systems

This book explores wireless communication elements, focusing on mm and THz wave generation, specifications, material innovations, machine learning integration, and applications. Computational methods like genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks optimize mm-wave and THz devices. The microwave spectrum is often crowded, making millimeter (mm-wave) and terahertz frequencies the preferred choice for next-generation high-end applications. Millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) fifth-generation (5G) communication technology addresses reduced time delays, increased data transmission speeds, and minimized energy consumption, crucial for diverse user devices. While 5G networks advance with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) multiplexing and mm-wave communications, the THz band offers even greater spectrum availability for systems like 6G. The surge in THz systems research aims to meet expanding technological demands, promising unprecedented data rates. THz-wave technology finds applications in wireless communications, remote sensing, and chemical analysis. For THz-wave technologists, this book is a valuable resource, covering research trends and demands, along with computational/simulation methods. Topics include Terahertz passive circuit modeling, mm-wave device simulation, Terahertz metrology, data transmission via mm-wave and THz signals, high-speed channel modeling, antenna design, graphene applications in 6G devices, THz absorbers, and sensors.

Antennas and Propagation for 5G and Beyond

Transforming the way we live, work, and engage with our environment, 5G and beyond technologies will provide much higher bandwidth and connectivity to billions of devices. This brings enormous opportunities but of course the widespread deployment of these technologies faces challenges, including the need for reliable connectivity, a diverse range of bandwidths, dynamic spectrum sharing, channel modelling and wave propagation for ultra-dense wireless networks, as well as price pressures. The choice of an antenna system will also be a critical component of all node end devices and will present several design challenges such as size, purpose, shape and placement. In this edited book, the authors bring new approaches for exploiting challenging propagation channels and the development of efficient, cost-effective, scalable, and reliable antenna systems and solutions, as well as future perspectives.
