Abstract

Terahertz (THz) spectrum (100 GHz-10 THz) is considered the next frontier in the design of high-speed wireless communication systems. While the high-power THz sources have commercially become available, it increases the possibility of developing THz jammers to disrupt the THz communication link. Therefore, the development of novel anti-jamming solutions is the need of the hour. In this work, we present the photonics-based THz communication system and demonstrate the frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technique which acts against the single/multi-tone jamming attack in the frequency window of 110 GHz-170 GHz. By tuning the output wavelength of the distributed feedback lasers, the THz carrier frequencies are swept back and forth within the scanning window. The frequency tuning range was measured for different scanning rates of the laser which decreases rapidly with the increase in the scanning rate. Next, we demonstrate the THz FHSS technique in a real-time communication system by transmitting a 6 Gbps NRZ signal in both wireless and THz-fiber-based links within the link distance of 1.75 m. We experimentally found that the measured bit error rate in the THz FHSS system is the time average of the measured BER for individual carrier frequencies within the hopping frequency window. By combining with the forward error correction codes and by using the tunable filter in the receiver, we believe that the proposed technique will offer a novel and compact solution against the single/multi-tone jammer for high-bit rate THz communications.
