As per document 15-09-0534-03-0thz-thz, IEEE802.15.0thz IG
is issuing a call for applications, as summarized below. CALL
FOR THz APPLICATIONS Contributions are requested for the IEEE P802.15.thz Interest Group for
applications of THz open air communications technology in regards to active
modulated THz emission/detection methods; and related uses such as that
associated with location awareness, remote sensing, and medical/security
scanning. RELEASE DATE: August, 2009 DUE DATE: Presentations at November
2009 meeting IEEE P802.15.THz Interest Group is chartered to study emerging THz
technologies and applications with interest in transitioning to a Study Group
in anticipation of creating a Project Authorization Request (PAR) and Five
Criteria (5C) utilizing THz technology. This Call for Applications (CFA)
solicits data which will help in the creation of the Study Group and hence the
PAR and 5C. The following is a list of THz characteristics which may be leveraged
in a particular application. ·
Operating Frequency
>300 GHz: Several windows of relatively low atmospheric absorption exist
from 300 GHz to 1,000 GHz, predominantly below 600 GHz. No allocation of
this spectrum to any radio service is currently made in the radio regulations; however,
a footnote regulates the use of this spectrum for passive and active services.
This spectrum is under consideration, via agenda item 1.6 of WRC 2012, for use
by passive services only and a tangential purpose of this call for applications
is to gauge interest in the specific use of this spectrum for active services. ·
THz frequencies
offer the possibility of very simple modulation methods and bandwidths with
data rates of more than 10 Gbps, far exceeding the capability of defined and
regulated bands lower than 100 GHz. ·
Many experimental
and novel THz generating and detecting technologies are under investigation for
a broad range of applications. Experimental transistors have breached the THz
boundary and their capabilities continue to increase. The mass production of
THz frequency devices has yet to occur, and most devices are still in either a
research phase or under optimization for generating and detecting THz energy in
a cost effective manner. ·
Applications identified so far have addressed
very high data transfer rates over a range of distances from very short range
– less than 1 meter, to relatively long range – tens of
meters. To help the committee develop appropriate and timely standards
for this emerging industry, the committee would be interested in understanding
the range and type of applications and anticipated data rates being considered
or developed within industry. ·
The committee would also be interested in hearing
if the THz band is the optimal band for your application? Or are you
considering other frequencies such as far infrared, near infrared or
frequencies less than 300GHz. PRESENTATIONS: All submissions should be provided in softcopy, written in MS Word
and/or MS PowerPoint, following the IEEE802.15 approved templates available at http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/pub/Download.html. Please obtain a valid THz document number and upload your contribution
to the document server at https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/documents. The presentation agenda will be set at the opening session of the
November 2009 THz IG meeting. Regards, Rick Roberts Chair, IEEE802.15.THz IG |
