We use low cost industry ready components to prepare a fully customizable THz band communication system that provides a bandwidth of 20 GHz that is easily extendable up to 40 GHz. Component parameters arc carefully observed and used in simulations to predict the system performance while the compatibility of different components is ensured to produce a reliable design. Our results show that the receiver provides a conversion gain of 51 dB with a noise figure (NE) of 9.56 dB to achieve a data rate of 90.31 Gbps at an operation range of 2 meters, which is suitable for high speed indoor IoT nodes. The flexible design of the transceiver provides groundwork for further research efforts in 5G IoT applications and pushing boundaries of throughputs to the order of terabits per second (Tbps).Computer scienceArtificial intelligenceComputer scienceCyberneticsConference proceeding42697240011410192
