Abstract(in English) The nano devices will be reality in the future. The size of such devices (micrometers) drastically limits the capabilities of a single device. By communication, a network of nano devices will be able to perform more complex sensing operations. Due to small sizes of nano devices, adding sensing and networking capabilities to various objects will be easy and cheap. The first step towards understanding the nano-networks is to understand a single link. Very small antennas, even if produced from novel materials, will require the devices to operate on extremely high frequencies. Therefore the terahertz frequency band (0.1-10 THz) has grown interest as a potential band for nano communications. However, this frequency band imposes signals to molecular phenomena. To be more specific, to molecular absorption and scattering, which causes attenuation to signals on top of traditional propagation effects, such as path loss and shadowing. The behavior of molecular absorption has been studied in the past, but we will add scattering to this equation. We will show that in right conditions scattering causes additional atmospheric losses in the terahertz band. This is very important, as to date no conclusive channel model for terahertz frequencies exists.
