contents Terahertz (THz) communications, ranging from 100 GHz to 10 THz, are envisioned as a promising technology for 6G and beyond wireless systems. As foundation of designing THz communications, channel modeling and characterization are crucial to scrutinize the potential of the new spectrum. However, current channel modeling and standardization heavily rely on measurements, which are both time-consuming and costly to obtain in the THz band. Here, we propose a Transfer learning enabled Transformer based Generative Adversarial Network (TT-GAN) for THz channel modeling. Specifically, as a fundamental building block, a GAN is exploited to generate channel parameters, which can substitute measurements. To greatly improve the accuracy, the first T, i.e., a transformer structure with a self-attention mechanism is incorporated in GAN. Still incurring errors compared with ground-truth measurement, the second T, i.e., a transfer learning is designed to solve the mismatch between the formulated network and measurement. The proposed TT-GAN can achieve high accuracy in channel modeling, while requiring only rather limited amount of measurement, which is a promising complementary of channel standardization that fundamentally differs from the current techniques that heavily rely on measurement.
