Abstract

In this letter, we consider Terahertz (THz) communications in the presence of pointing error impairments (misalignment) and under random fog conditions. We derive closed-form expressions, in terms of I-function, for the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF). Then, the PDF and the CDF are employed to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average symbol error rate (SER), and ergodic channel capacity. Additionally, very tight simple approximations in the high signal-to-noise ratio for the outage probability and average SER are provided. The derived expressions are validated through numerical and Monte-Carlo simulation results.
