Project Description and Objectives:

The terahertz (0.1–10 THz) band holds enormous potential for supporting unprecedented data rates and millimeter-level accurate sensing thanks to its ultra-broad bandwidth. Terahertz integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is viewed as a game-changing technology to realize connected intelligence in 6G and beyond systems. This project aims to explore the fundamental and key technologies of THz ISAC, including waveform generation, transmission and receiver processing of THz ISAC signals, as well as performance evaluation and optimization of THz ISAC systems. This project will combine theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental verification to provide new ideas and methods for the development of THz ISAC.

Eligibility Requirements:

Students from highly-ranked universities.

Interest in conducting cutting-edge and high-quality research.

Solid background in mathematics, communication theory and programming.

Main Tasks:

Complete the literature review and project design of THz ISAC.

Investigate the channel models of THz communication and sensing based on the features of THz wave propagation.

Investigate the waveform design for THz ISAC, including modulation, pilot design and waveform generation.

Investigate the receiver algorithm design for THz ISAC, including sensing algorithm, channel estimation, and data detection.

Build the simulation and experimental platform of THz ISAC, and evaluate the system performance.
