## Abstract (arXiv)

The Terahertz (0.1-10 THz) band holds enormous potential for supporting unprecedented data rates and millimeter-level accurate sensing thanks to its ultra-broad bandwidth. Terahertz integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is viewed as a game-changing technology to realize connected intelligence in 6G and beyond systems. In this article, challenges from THz channel and transceiver perspectives, as well as difficulties of ISAC are elaborated. Motivated by these challenges, THz ISAC channels are studied in terms of channel types, measurement and models. Moreover, four key signal processing techniques to unleash the full potential of THz ISAC are investigated, namely, waveform design, receiver processing, narrowbeam management, and localization. Quantitative studies demonstrate the benefits and performance of the state-of-the-art signal processing methods. Finally, open problems and potential solutions are discussed.
