The present research is a targeted endeavor to study the underlying characteristics and novel applications of millimeter (mm) wave through terahertz (THz) spectrum of electromagnetic (EM) energy. Focused thereof are the following specific tasks broadly considered pertinent to the said EM spectral range: (i) To elucidate the material characteristics vis-à-vis the interaction with EM energy at the test frequencies; (ii) to identify biomedical applications based on the material characteristics studied and applied to biomedia; and (iii) to model the wireless communication channels supporting EM waves at the test frequency bands of interest. Commensurate with the scope as above, the objectives of the research are as follows: === Includes bibliography. === Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. === FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
