Abstract

Despite the high directivity of THz beams, THz wireless links may still suffer compromising emissions when propagate through atmospheric turbulence and suffers scattering. In this work, we investigate the eavesdropping risks of a line-of-sight (LOS) THz link `in atmospheric turbulence with an eavesdropper located close to but outside of the beam path. A theoretical model considering the turbulence induced losses, gaseous absorption and beam divergence is conducted. Theoretical estimations agree well with our measured data. The secrecy capacity and outage probability dependent on the carrier frequency, turbulence strength, eavesdropper’s position and receiver sensitivity are analyzed.
