The accurate modeling of reflection coefficients is pivotal for developing reliable channel models in emerging terahertz (THz) communications. This study establishes a 300∼400 GHz channel measurement platform to measure the reflection coefficients of various materials. Based on the analysis of measured data, we propose the single-layer interference with an extended-parameterized Lorentz/Drude (SLI-EPLD) reflection coefficient model. In this model, a sub-band modeling strategy is adopted to characterize the variation of reflection coefficients with frequency, while a parameterized mapping approach is employed to ensure the stability of model parameters. Furthermore, the weighted sub-band fitting for trend regression (WF-TREND) algorithm is introduced to achieve precise sub-band parameter fitting. Validation results demonstrate superior performance to existing models across multiple materials. The reflection coefficient model established in this work serves as a critical foundation for channel modeling in 300∼400 GHz for high-THz communication.
