Abstract
Abstract
Millimeter (mmWave) and sub-terahertz communication is a key technology to support high data rate requirements of 5G and B5G mobile networks. However this field is still in its initial development stage because of the various technical difficulties in its practical implementation due to inherently distinct propagation properties of mmWave/sub-terahertz frequencies. A thorough investigation of mmWave/sub-terahertz communication link is required in order to successfully deploy these frequency bands in 5G and B5G mobile networks. This paper investigates the effect of atmospheric conditions like dry air, humidity, rain, snow, fog and foliage on the performance of the mmWave/sub-terahertz link. The work also presents a mathematical analysis of the coverage of mmWave/sub-terahertz communication link and investigates the effect of various parameters like frequency, bandwidth, transceiver antenna gain, path loss coefficient (LOS, NLOS case) and system noise on its performance.
