doc.: IEEE thz Submission Conclusion and Future Discussion Waveform maxima and field magnitude monotonically decrease as the Tx/Rx distance increases with the path loss of 1dB/10cm. At least within 1meter, the data rate of 10~20Gbps is possible in the LOS environment. It is needed to –Measure the path loss beyond 1meter. –Measure the delay profile March 2009 Young-Chai Ko,Korea UniversitySlide 10
