Abstract

The terahertz spectrum is often seen as the potential future for communication systems due to its large available bandwidth and spectrum availability. Line of sight communications will prove challenging due to a variety of reasons for indoor scenarios including signal loss at walls. Textured, reflective paints were made and measured to test their reflectivity improvement using terahertz time domain spectroscopy. For textured surfaces, the measured results indicated multipath fading and temporal dispersion. This effect was then modeled and investigated in simulations to determine the overall paint/texture effects on wireless communication performance.
