Abstract:
Our studies of terahertz pulse propagation in the atmosphere have identified the two most optimal communication channels. The potential of these channels is demonstrated by physically accurate linear dispersion theory calculations of digital pulse propagation, showing it is possible to have two high-performance, point-to-point digital terahertz links in the atmosphere: a direct 95 GHz, 20 km ground link at 9.5 Gb/s with power loss of 10 dB due to water vapor at RH 58% (10 g/m3) and 20°C, and a direct 250 GHz, geosynchronous satellite link at 20.8 Gb/s with a 2 km zenith path with water vapor loss of 9 dB.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
