About the cover: Parisa Hassanzadeh, a student of NYU WIRELESS, graduated with her Ph.D. and is shown at the NYU All-Uni- versity Commencement in Yankee Stadium on May 22, 2019. Parisa had the highest GPA among all graduating students at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and served as the Graduate Class Representative. She also received the 2019 David Goodman Research Award, given to the student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department who made the most significant research contribution among all ECE graduate students in the past year. The research award is named for the beloved wireless pioneer and current NYU WIRELESS Professor Emeritus, who still frequents campus regularly. Parisa gradu- ated under the advisement of Professor Elza Erkip and is slated to join the Artificial Intelligence Research Group at JP Morgan.

ABSTRACT Frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising bands for the next generation of wireless communication systems because of the wide swaths of unused and unexplored spectrum. These frequencies also offer the potential for revolutionary applications that will be made possible by new thinking, and advances in devices, circuits, software, signal processing, and systems. This paper describes many of the technical challenges and opportunities for wireless communication and sensing applications above 100 GHz, and presents a number of promising discoveries, novel approaches, and recent results that will aid in the development and implementation of the sixth generation (6G) of wireless networks, and beyond. This paper shows recent regulatory and standard body rulings that are anticipating wireless products and services above 100 GHz and illustrates the viability of wireless cognition, hyper-accurate position location, sensing, and imaging. This paper also presents approaches and results that show
