About the topic:

The use of wireless frequencies above 100 GHz has attracted considerable interest for both massive bandwidth communication links and very high resolution RADAR and sensing. Systems in these frequencies have unique characteristics in terms of device nonlinearities, MIMO architectures and radio propagation that in turn present significant design challenges.

This tutorial will provide an overview of recent results in the field in both the upper millimeter wave and THz frequencies from a signal processing perspective. The tutorial will provide a brief survey of new results in:

• THz devices and signal processing models for nonlinearities and power consumption;
• Channel modeling from both ray tracing and measurements;
• System studies and use cases.

The tutorial is intended for researchers interested in the field to help identify research problems and directions.

About the presenter:

Sundeep Rangan received the B.A.Sc. at the University of Waterloo, Canada and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, all in Electrical Engineering. He has held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Bell Labs. In 2000, he co-founded (with four others) Flarion Technologies, a spin off of Bell Labs, that developed Flash OFDM, one of the first cellular OFDM data systems and pre-cursor to 4G systems including LTE and WiMAX. In 2006, Flarion was acquired by Qualcomm Technologies where Dr. Rangan was a Director of Engineering involved in OFDM infrastructure products. He joined the ECE department at NYU Tandon (formerly NYU Polytechnic) in 2010. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and Director of NYU WIRELESS, an academicindustry research center researching next-generation wireless systems. His research interests are in wireless communications, signal processing, information theory and control theory.
