OFDM for Terahertz Wireless Communication Systems

carriers, time or frequency equalization techniques must be used, and we have tried
to highlight some characteristic points of these techniques. Thus, we have described
the advantages and disadvantages of OFDM modulation, which we have answered
in the last parts of this chapter and in the next chapter. Then, we described the
THz channel. We have optimized high-speed data transmission over such a channel.
Thus, we were able to reach a BER of 10-4 without coding for SNR less than 18 dB.
Consequently, the OFDM modulation seems more robust in the face of ISIs caused
by multi-path propagation phenomena THz communication system.
Others’ solutions can be used to reduce BER in THz communication system
such as MIMO technique which is an effective method to increase capacity in radio
communication system.
