ABSTRACT: Two kinds of space applications of THz band
are proposed. A novel method for the THz band signal propagation in the satellite-earth
link is studied in order to overcome the huge loss in the atmosphere. The THz signal
should be transformed to Ka band by data processor on satellite, and then be transmitted
to the earth station in order to avoid the THz loss in the atmosphere. The design
can realize at least 10 Gbps space communication or data relay. Furthermore, three
aspects of challenges in THz band are analyzed.
