Characterization and performance analysis of a chiral-metamaterial channel with Giant Optical Activity for terahertz communications

The chiral effect affects the channel through the presence of spectral windows, due to peaks of resonance of chiral parameter. Performance analysis of the chirality-affected channel is assessed in terms of (i) channel capacity, (ii) propagation delay, (iii) coherence bandwidth, and (iv) symbol rates, for different distances and propagation modes.
