<monospace>TWIRLD</monospace>: Transformer Generated Terahertz Waveform for Improved Radio Link Distance by Shuvam Chakraborty, Claire Parisi, Dola Saha, Ngwe Thawdar

“…In prior works, multicarrier waveforms (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)) are shown to be efficient in tackling some of these issues. However, OFDM introduces a drawback in the form of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which, compounded with strong propagation and absorption loss and high noise power due to large bandwidth at THz and sub-THz frequencies, severely limits link distances and, in turn, capacity, preventing efficient bandwidth usage. …”
