Abstract

A method for real-time THz sensing using true time delay (TTD) is implemented by a base station and includes transmitting, by a transceiver that includes TDD elements and phase shifters configured in the transceiver, simultaneous frequency dependent (SFD) beams to scan an environment at a first granularity to detect a spatial cluster target. Each of the SFD beams corresponds to a different phase angle and different frequency. The method includes determining, among the SFD beams, a subset of beams that detected the spatial cluster target. The method includes beam switching, by the transceiver, using time division multiplexing (TDM) and a TDM bandwidth to scan a portion of the environment at phase angles corresponding to the subset of beams and at a second granularity finer than the first granularity. The method includes combining data received from the SFD beams, by multiple threads that concurrently process data received from the SFD beams.
