Abstract
Initiation of fourth generation (4G) mobile telecommunication system rollouts
fires the starting pistol for beyond 4G research activities. Whereas
technologies enhancing spectral efficiency have traditionally been the solution
to data rate and network capacity increase demands, due to the already advanced
techniques, returns of the even more complicated algorithms hardly worth the
complexity increase any longer. In addition, surging number of connected
devices now enables operative use of short-range communication methods. Also
considering the recently approved standards for the 60 gigahertz (GHz)
industrial, scientific and medical radio band, in this paper the transmission
windows around 300 GHz is proposed to be utilized for the fifth generation
wireless communication systems. Motivations for the low end of the terahertz
(THz) band are provided in accordance with market trends, and standardization
activities in higher frequencies are listed. Unified mathematical expressions
of the electromagnetic wave propagation mechanisms in the low-THz band are
presented. 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. Future research directions are specified before the
conclusion of the paper.

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. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
