Abstract

The terahertz band is considered to be the next breakthrough point to revolutionize communication technology, attributed to its rich spectrum resources. The study of terahertz atmospheric transmission characteristics is important in guiding the terahertz communication window selection process. In this report, based on the equivalent medium theory, the scattering characteristics of terahertz Gaussian beams by moist media are discussed. Numerical results show that the extinction coefficient of particles is mainly affected by the humidity, and the scattering efficiency is affected by both temperature and humidity. When the temperature is over 273 K and the humidity is 0.5, the extinction efficiency shows a trend of increasing initially and decreasing afterwards. Hence, the appropriate temperature is beneficial to minimizing the attenuation coefficient.
