4.1 Modulation and performance indicators for a THz communication link
In the THz range, various approaches have been followed, coming from microwave domains, long-distance optical communications, coherent optical communications, and even more conventional radio domains. As a result, digital amplitude modulations and phase/amplitude vector modulations (QPSK, QAM-16, QAM-32 and beyond) are used.
Remember that the main advantage of vector modulation is to optimize bandwidth with the highest possible spectral efficiency (bit/s/Hz).
The spectral efficiency of a modulation, defined by the ratio of bit rate to bandwidth used, in bit/s/Hz, is the parameter to be optimized in order to maximize the amount of...
