Résumé
The state-of-art broadband THz sources can contribute to the development of short-range 6G communications. This paper has demonstrated the feasibility of forming the controllable sequence of THz subpulses in the temporal domain and the corresponding quasidiscrete spectrum by the interference of two THz pulses with an exponential chirp. Moreover, due to small time delay between these pulses the temporal and spectral structures are similar to each other (so-called "linkage relation"). This will benefit information encoding in the THz range. The calculated metrics for the prototype communication channel based on the proposed method are competitive with existing short-range THz CW channels.
