Applied Optics
|November 22, 2018
Summary
Terahertz communication offers high-speed data transmission. Researchers identified optimal terahertz communication windows around 140-460 GHz using a modified ITU model, confirming their viability for point-to-point links.
Area of Science:
- Wireless communication
- Electromagnetism
- Atmospheric physics
Background:
- Terahertz (THz) communication is crucial for future high-capacity point-to-point data links.
- Understanding atmospheric transmission is key to selecting effective THz communication frequencies.
- Existing models require refinement for precise THz window identification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and validate optimal terahertz communication windows above 100 GHz.
- To assess the atmospheric transmission characteristics within these identified windows.
- To demonstrate the feasibility of indoor THz point-to-point communication.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a modified ITU-R P.676-10 model to predict atmospheric absorption.
- Calculated terahertz atmospheric transmission characteristics for frequency bands above 100 GHz.
- Conducted an experimental 110 m indoor transmission test at approximately 460 GHz.
Main Results:
- Identified potential terahertz communication windows at approximately 140, 220, 340, 410, and 460 GHz.
- Experimental verification confirmed the predicted transmission characteristics of these windows.
- Successfully demonstrated indoor point-to-point communication feasibility at 460 GHz over 110 m.
Conclusions:
- The modified ITU-R P.676-10 model effectively predicts terahertz atmospheric transmission.
- Key terahertz communication windows above 100 GHz are identified and experimentally validated.
- Indoor point-to-point terahertz communication is feasible within the 460 GHz window.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification
5.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Communication
8.7K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Communication
9.9K
Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification
191
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

Neuronal Communication
3.3K
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
