GENERAL INFORMATION:

Lying between microwave and infrared spectrum, terahertz band is an attractive part of electromagnetic spectrum for space, imaging, spectroscopy and now communication applications. In order to increase the performance of the terahertz systems, efficient transmitter and receiver designs, and terahertz signal processing are key points. Within the framework of the 2017 40th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP - http://tsp.vutbr.cz/), which will be held on July 5-7, 2017, in Barcelona, Spain, we invite you to contribute by presenting your research and sharing your knowledge on the cutting edge Terahertz Technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Plasmonic Terahertz sources & receivers
- Photoconductive antennas and photomixers
- Terahertz photonic processing
- IR, THz, and MMW sources and novel generation schemes
- Laser driven terahertz sources
- Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs)
- Resonant tunneling diode (RTD) based terahertz sources and detectors
- Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) based terahertz sources and detectors
- Terahertz instruments, devices and components
- THz and MMW systems, transmission lines and antennas
- Terahertz imaging systems for security applications
- IR, THz, and MMW spectroscopy and material properties
- Ultra high speed MMW digital devices
- MMW and submillimeter-wave radar and communications
- IR, THz and MMW astronomy and environmental science
- IR, THz, and MMW imaging and remote sensing
