Abstract
The rise in consumer data usage has increased the demand for higher data rates in telecommunication in both wireless and wired systems. In order to meet the demands for increased data rates for wired services, one possibility is to switch to higher frequencies, beyond the MHz-range frequencies typically used in digital subscriber line (DSL) services. In this work, we investigate the channel properties of a 200 GHz signal transmitted through a waveguide structure that is designed to approximately emulate the type of paired phone cable typically used for DSL transmissions. We report the attenuation characteristics of such a channel and explore the achievable data rates of a realistic vectored scenario that exploits the modal diversity of this multi-mode channel. We find that aggregate data rates on the order of terabits per second are feasible over short distances.
