Over the last decade, short-range communications in the THz (Terahertz) band have been extensively studied as a technology-enabler for dense and ultra-dense wireless networks. The increasing demand for high data rates for wireless communication systems will inevitably lead to the extension of operation frequencies with larger bandwidths. THz range enables bandwidths on the order or hundreds of GHz. Thus, THz Band communication will alleviate the capacity limitations and spectrum scarcity of current wireless systems, and enable new classical networks and novel nanoscale networks applications. The main aim of this paper is to provide design guidelines for close proximity links with transmission capacity beyond 100 Gbit/s. We present the path loss, absorption loss, signal to noise ratio (SNR) and capacity of propagating electromagnetic waves at THz Band in different air medium types. The channel capacity and SNR properties are calculated according to transmit power estimation. In this paper, five air medium types are investigated which are average latitude—summer, high latitude—summer, average latitude—winter, high latitude—winter and tropics.
