Abstract
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. High throughput capability of the terahertz band (0.3–10 THz) wireless communications is expected to be utilized by the fifth generation of mobile telecommunication systems and enable a plethora of new applications. Supporting devices will transfer large amounts of data in both directions, causing high energy consumption by the electronic circuitries of the equipment in use. Therefore, physical layer for these systems must be designed carefully in order to reduce energy consumption per bit. In this paper, the best performing modulation scheme and hardware parameters that minimize the energy consumption without affecting the system throughput are determined. THz band device technologies are outlined and a complete survey of the state-of-the-art low-THz band circuit blocks which are suitable for mass market production is given. It is shown that for short-range communications, M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation is the most energy-efficient technique that can lead up to 90% reduction in consumed energy. Moreover, optimal transceiver parameters which can be used to further minimize the energy consumption of the THz band system are examined.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported.
