6G THz and Sub-THz Training

6G THz and Sub-THz Training is a 2-day course where participants will learn how THz signals have the capacity to drive advanced 6G technological applications such as digital twins, immersive extended reality (XR), mobile holograms and digital replicas, nano healthcare, three-dimensional (3D) calls, haptics communications, unmanned mobility, tele-operated driving and the nano-inspired Internet of Things.

6G may be a ways off, but it’s looking more and more like 6G technology will be powered by terahertz (THz) waves.

The terahertz range is defined by IEEE and the ITU as between 300 GHz to 3 THz. But as often happens in wireless communications, an informal definition is also emerging.

Industry discussions and research literature often consider anything beyond 100 GHz to be terahertz territory. Some use the term “sub-terahertz” to describe the range between 100-300 GHz.

Terahertz (THz) technology is recognized for yielding low latency and fast wireless data transfer while decreasing congestion, making it a go to candidate for 6G.

While 5G’s focus has leaned toward revolutionizing industrial and business verticals, the ideas for potential 6G use cases might fundamentally change telecommunications itself: Short-range point-to-point communications for high-capacity fronthaul and backhaul.

Intriguingly, there is also a concept emerging of using wireless frequencies for both communications and sensing capabilities. In this scenario, terahertz frequencies would not simply carry communications data, but could work much like a highly precise radar system to detect objects.

Hand-in-hand with that capability would also be the enablement of centimeter- or sub-centimeter accuracy, for highly detailed holographic imaging and AR/VR applications.

The technical challenges of millimeter wave intensify in terahertz: Even shorter range, even more penetration issues. But similar to 5G, these can be mitigated by focusing through beam-forming.

Research teams around the world are also looking at other modalities to harness terahertz waves for important 6G applications.

An important building block of 6G technology is the Sub-THz frequency range.

Sub-THz promises to be indispensable to achieve target requirements in terms of maximum throughput on the 1 Tbps level and extremely low latencies.

But Sub-THz waves will also likely be the foundation for intriguing novel applications. The access to much wider bandwidths will enable very high-throughput short-range communication combined with a sense of the environment for object detection or the next generation of gesture recognition down to millimeter resolution.

The vision is that in the 6G era, the digital, physical and human world will seamlessly fuse (cyber-physical fusion), leading to a connected society in which communications connects people, machines and virtual services with all of the necessary components of our daily life. The deployed sensors and actuators need to securely transfer and process data at extremely high rates to realize “immersive communications” of this kind.
