While terahertz (THz) communication systems, operating from 100 GHz to 1 THz, have the potential to exploit wide swaths of unused spectrum for ultra-high bitrate communication, there are significant challenges. Particularly, the strong absorption of water vapor can result in very high atmospheric attenuation. We modeled a ground to geostationary satellite link and found that using large aperture THz...
