# Introduction to the Terahertz Band  ## About - Author: Dr. Neda Khiabani - Title: Introduction to the Terahertz Band - Tags: #articles - URL: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/introduction-to-terahertz/ ## Highlights **Short-range:** For short-range applications, atmospheric attenuation is negligible, especially the frequencies with high absorption. This makes the removal/recognition of the effect of these narrow lines easier. Hence, THz technology is a very resourceful tool for fundamental investigations in various disciplines such as physics and chemistry. Also, it is an attractive option for short-range wireless communication with high data rates. ---
