ABSTRACT
This chapter briefly discusses terahertz (THz) wireless communication in association with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Advancements in both the devices and channel modeling are necessary to establish a functional THz communication system. UAVs, in particular, can provide reliable and economical wireless communication solutions for a wide range of real-world applications if correctly deployed and operated. To combat the THz channel's inevitability of route loss, 3D beamforming appears to be a viable option for constructing directing beams, extending communication range, and reducing interference. THz signal generators and detectors are commonly made of silicon germanium, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide and indium phosphide. As we get into the THz range, there is a large increase in free space path loss, molecule air absorption, and total signal loss. In order to get clarity on the employment of UAVs as flying base stations, the chapter reviews a variety of potential applications for various wireless-centric UAV deployments.
