Understanding and characterizing nanonetworks for healthcare monitoring applications

Terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum has been of wide interest during the past few years. It has been regarded as the promising working band for Nanoscale Communication. In this paper, experimental investigations and analysis using THz-TDS (THz Time Domain Spectroscopy) system are presented and discussed. The study is focused on biological modeling of artificial skin and thereby extracting the refractive index values at the THz band. The paper also compares the results with already reported papers. The results are promising and in agreement with minor variation due to different growth process and experimental environment.
