چکیده

The elegant concept of Nanocommunication at terahertz (THz) frequency is proposed with its main focus on investigating electromagnetic material properties of synthesized Dermis layer of the skin via THz-Time Domain Spectroscopy (TDS). The paper highlights the study of human skin and cell culture. Methods are applied to synthesize collagen and measurements are carried out in the THz band ranging from 0.1-3THz. The results are further proposed for Nanonetwork channel propagation models and transmission schemes based on THz electromagnetic communication.

Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy of Metallic Particle Ensembles

The terahertz (THz) frequency range is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum between the microwave and optical bands spanning from 0.1 THz to 10 THz. Historically, electromagnetic radiation in this frequency range has been inaccessible due to the lack of widespread electronic or laser-based radiation sources. Electronic radiation sources such as crystal oscillators are generally confined t...
