Abstract :
Providing the basis for fast system simulations and the adequate design of upcoming THz communication systems, a novel stochastic 300 GHz indoor channel model is introduced. It combines both the modeling in time as well as in frequency domain in order to account for the significant frequency dispersion of ultra broadband THz channels. Not only amplitude, phase and temporal, but also spatial channel information is considered. That way, MIMO systems as well as novel antenna concepts can be simulated. Verified and calibrated frequency domain ray tracing simulations in an office scenario provide the data basis for the derivation of model parameters. Model channel realizations are tested against ray tracing predictions and channel measurements. A complete scenario-specific parameter set is given for the considered environment, so that the model can be implemented for further use and future THz communication links can be designed under consideration of realistic propagation conditions.
