Minutes of the July 2010 THz IG

Meeting was called to order at 1.30pm July 14th. The patents statement was read and no patent contributions were discussed. The March meeting notes were approved with one small editorial change. Call for contributions/Changes of the agenda or for any other business, no discussions followed. The chairman informed the group that he submitted a proposal for tutorial on THz communications for the upcoming plenary at Dallas in November 2010. Four contributions were presented: Contribution #1 Sebastian Priebe, TU Braunschweig, “Towards a 300 GHz Channel Model “ Document 15-10-0436-00-0thz.  Verification of 3D Ray-Tracing and material parameters for THz spatial channel modeling  Surface characterization modeling verified  Importance of antenna misalignment highlighted  Identification of future characterization modeling including AoA, AoD, diffraction modeling and multiple layer reflections and investigation into optimum antenna design for THz frequencies Contribution #2 Sebastian Priebe, TU Braunschweig, “Digital Data Transmission at 300 GHz “ Document 15-10-0437-00-0thz.  Comparison of analog to digital TV transmission (DVB-T, DVB-S2)  Investigations of the impact of phase noise  Results for different transmission distances (from 10cm up to 52 m) modulation schemes and antenna gains Contribution #3 Young-Chai Ko, Korea University, “Recent development of THz Amplifier and Low Complexity Beamforming Schemes”. Document 15-10-0467-00-0thz.  Presentation reported on recent advances in the development of THz amplifiers and THz beamforming  THz Amplifiers: Design of a 10dB amplifier at 300GHz using Teledyne 0.25um InP HBT process  Beamforming: Simulation of an RF chain using multiple antennas and RF phase shifting elements Contribution #4 Thomas Kürner, TU Braunschweig, “Status of Preparation Activities for WRC

Document 15-10-0450-00-0thz.  Summary on current situation in preparation of WRC 2012 with respect to agenda item 1.6 and review of footnote 5.565 regarding language associated with experimentation of active services  Background information on passive services (radio astronomy and earth-exploration satellite services) and their operational environments in the frequency range 275 to 1000 GHz  Discussion of options to change the footnote  Review of status of international discussion  Discussion on agenda item for the allocation of spectrum for active services at WRC 2015 Further spectrum activities have been discussed yielding a strawpoll in support of triggering the inclusion of an agenda item for the allocation of spectrum for active services at WRC 2015. This strawpoll was passed unanimously. The meeting was closed at 5pm. Attendees: Thomas Kürner, TU Braunschweig David Britz, AT&T Sebastian Priebe, TU Braunschweig Ho-Jim Song, NTT Shoichi Kitazawa, ATR Wave Engineering Labs Jim Tomcik, Qualcomm Katsihiro Ajito, NTT Gilbert Ching, Kozo Keikaku Engineering Yukiko Kishiki, Kozo Keikaku Engineering André Bourdoux, IMEC Domenico Giustiniano, Disney Research Young-Chai Ko, Korea University
