Paper on Terahertz-Band ISAC Receives Coveted IEEE Mimno Award
The episode explores the upcoming 6G paradigm shift toward Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), where terahertz‑band radio waves will simultaneously transmit data and act as radar. It explains the physics challenges of terahertz frequencies—severe atmospheric absorption, massive path loss, and beam‑split—while highlighting solutions such as ultra‑massive antenna arrays, near‑field beam focusing, sub‑array architectures, and graphene‑based plasmonic antennas. The discussion also covers practical mitigation strategies like intelligent reflecting surfaces to keep connections stable despite human blockage.
