Future prospects of 6G wireless communication: review of antenna technologies

The sixth generation (6G) wireless technology is designed for advanced applications such as immersive reality, autonomous vehicle communication, and holographic communication. Central to 6G systems are RF transceivers, including amplifiers, mixers, and antennas. For 6G to support higher data rates and ensure network reliability in higher frequency bands, antennas need to be simple in design, cost-effective for mass production, and have better radiation performance than 5G antennas. This paper provides a brief review of recent advancements in 6G antenna design, covering deployment scenarios, design methodologies, and radiation characteristics, aiming to enhance readers' understanding of 6G antenna architectures.
