Pointing-Error-Induced Fading in an Open-Loop THz Uplink with Hardware Impairments

A mathematical model of a real antenna tracking system, including motion latency and velocity limits, quantifies how mechanical pointing errors degrade a THz uplink during LEO satellite passes and yields design guidelines for high-frequency ground stations.
