| contents | Sub-terahertz (sub-THz) frequencies (100--300 GHz) are expected to play a key role in beyond-5G and 6G mobile networks. However, their quasi-optical propagation characteristics require new channel models beyond sub-100 GHz extrapolations. This paper presents an extensive double-directional (D-D) channel measurement campaign conducted in an outdoor street-canyon environment at 154 GHz and 300 GHz under both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) conditions using an in-house-developed multi-tone frequency-domain channel sounder. Based on these measurements, clustering with merged datasets across the two frequencies enables comparative analyses that identify both common and distinct multipath clusters, as well as the frequency dependence of cluster-level characteristics. A quasi-deterministic (Q-D) channel model is then proposed, combining deterministic components, such as LoS and single-bounce reflections from side walls, with random components. Large-scale parameters (path loss, delay spread, angular spread, and Rician $K$-factor) are also evaluated. These results provide valuable insights into sub-THz propagation in urban street canyons and contribute toward the development of accurate, channel models for future 6G systems. |
