DESCRIPTION:Title: Near-field terahertz networking\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nThe
  recent dramatic growth in interest in the use of high-frequency (millimet
 er-wave and terahertz) carrier waves for wireless communications has spurr
 ed a great deal of research activity. In some cases\, such as fixed point-
 to-point backhaul\, systems operating above 100 GHz are already in or near
 ing commercial deployment. On the other hand\, significant research challe
 nges remain for the deployment of local area networks\, which must manage 
 factors such as user mobility and line-of-sight blockage of directional be
 ams. Interestingly\, such networks may often be able to operate in a regim
 e in which most or all of the broadcast sector is located in the near fiel
 d of the transmitter. This possibility opens up a host of new ideas for wa
 ve front engineering\, in particular wave fronts that can only exist in th
 e electromagnetic near field. Here\, we discuss a few examples\, focusing 
 on the class of wave fronts that can be engineered to curve around an inte
 rvening obstacle\, delivering data to a user located in the shadow of the 
 obstacle. This near-field effect presents an intriguing alternative to the
  popular notion of intelligent reflecting surfaces for blockage mitigation
 .
