Rohde & Schwarz performs sub-THz propagation channel measurements for 6G progress
Deepen understanding of radio channels in the mmWave and sub-mmWave (sub-THz and THz) bands and drive extensive research activities covering various frequencies applicable to future 6G communication standards
The development of sub-THz band communications, which is envisioned for 6G, will only be possible if we have a solid understanding of the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Especially since the new frequency band from 100 to 330 GHz is attracting worldwide interest, Rohde & Schwarz has also focused its recent efforts on this band. Our findings are included in a report by the 5D Working Group (W5PD) of the International Telecommunication Union’s
Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and provided as information to the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2023. increase. At the conference, frequency bands above 100 GHz will be discussed and studied for frequency allocation.

Rohde & Schwarz actively supports the activities of 6G-related companies, organizations, universities and other research institutes from Europe to Asia and the United States. Our specialized test and measurement technologies and solutions are playing an active role in developing the infrastructure for next-generation wireless
communication 6G, which is expected to be commercially available around 2030. Sub-THz generally refers to the frequency range from 100 to 300 GHz and is expected to be one of the key elements of future 6G wireless communication standards.
Sub-THz technology not only delivers targeted specifications in terms of maximum throughput at the 1 Tbps level and extremely low latency, but is also expected to become an indispensable foundation for novel and attractive applications. . The availability of much higher bandwidth will enable very high throughput short-range wireless communication, including object detection and next-generation millimeter-resolution gesture recognition environments. However, to realize the full potential of this technology, it is crucial to perform channel sounding measurements to understand the propagation characteristics of THz frequency radio waves.
Rohde & Schwarz therefore carried out a series of channel sounding measurement experiments at 158 GHz and 300 GHz at our premises in Munich, Germany under UrbanMicro (for street canyon) and indoor scenarios. The first result of the measurement was )
