ETSI’s Industry Specification Group Terahertz (ISG THz) provides a collaborative platform to share and consolidate pre-standardisation work on Terahertz technologies. This activity builds on outcomes from collaborative research projects and relevant global initiatives, with the objective of paving the way for future standardisation of THz communications.
ISG THz focuses on establishing the technical foundations required for the development and future standardisation of THz communication systems operating in the frequency range from 0.1 THz to 10 THz.
Development of technical reports and studies that consolidate research outcomes and establish the baseline framework required to support future standardisation of Terahertz communication systems.
Definition and analysis of representative deployment scenarios and use cases for THz systems, identifying performance requirements and application domains that benefit from ultra-high data rates and ultra-low latency.
Identification and assessment of candidate frequency bands within the 0.1 THz to 10 THz range, considering regulatory, technical and coexistence aspects relevant to future deployments.
Investigation of propagation mechanisms specific to THz frequencies, including molecular absorption, high path loss, blockage sensitivity and atmospheric effects, to support realistic system design.
Development of measurement methodologies and accurate channel models tailored to THz communications, enabling reliable performance evaluation and technology validation.
ISG THz conducts pre-standardisation activities to support future THz system development, including:
TeraHertz modeling (THz); Channel measurements and modeling in THz bands
TeraHertz technology (THz); Identification of frequency bands of interest for THz communication systems
TeraHertz modeling (THz); Identification of use cases for THz communication systems
