Polarization Characteristics of Human Body Scattering in THz waves

Abstract

As the 6th generation mobile communication system is expected to use the terahertz wave band, it is essential to clarify the human body blocking and scattering characteristics as many small cells for indoor and outdoor use will be needed. In addition, since it is important to use high-gain antennas with orthogonal polarization to realize efficient MIMO transmission, it is necessary to clarify the polarization characteristics of human body blocking and scattering. Experiments conducted to investigate human body scattering in the terahertz wave band show that the scattering characteristics are polarization dependent.
