Terahertz technology for ultra-broadband and ultra-wideband operation of backhaul and fronthaul links in systems with SDN management of network and radio resources

Project description

Disruptive terahertz technology for wireless signals

Wireless signals are one of life’s essentials, allowing people around the world to communicate using Wi-Fi devices and cellular phones. The EU-funded TERAWAY project is working on the generation, emission and detection of wireless signals within an ultra-wide range of carrier frequencies that will cover the W (92-114.5 GHz), D (130-174.8 GHz) and THz band (252-322 GHz). It will make it possible to organise the spectral resources of a network within these bands to form a common pool of radio resources that can be flexibly coordinated and used. Photonics will be used to develop multi-channel transceivers with wireless signal amplification into the optical domain and multi-beam optical beamforming to increase the directivity of each wireless beam.
