Abstract :
We demonstrate that dispersive compensation can be achieved for THz communication channels within the atmospheric THz windows. However, THz pulse broadening cannot be eliminated due to the bandwidth reduction of the propagating THz pulse due to the frequency-dependent absorption of the channels.
