[Press Release] Sub-THz propagation channel simulator for 6th-gen mobile communication systems R&D

A research group led by Professor Hiroshi Harada, Assistant Professor Yusuke Koda, and Researcher Norichika Ohmi at the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, has developed a radio wave propagation simulator named Kyoto University Channel Generator (KUCG) for the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) band. The sub-THz band, ranging from approximately 100 GHz to 300 GHz, is expected to solve future frequency band shortages by supplementing the sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave bands used in the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G). The developed simulator can iteratively generate samples of radio propagation characteristics that are statistically consistent with the results of sub-THz band propagation measurement tests conducted by the research group. This allows anyone to evaluate the transmission characteristics of various sub-THz wireless systems using only a computer, without conducting actual field tests. This breakthrough is expected to accelerate the research and development of wireless transmission methods using sub-THz waves. The evaluation version of the simulator has been released on the website of the research group.
