Broadband Antennas for Future Communication Networks

Abstract

As the component mainly responsible for shaping the air interface, an antenna is fundamental to any communication system.Rapid advancements in wireless technology from 1G to 6G have necessitated adjustments in both technology and network capacity to keep up with surging consumer demand. Antenna designers have made tremendous technical strides in response to these ever-increasing demands. The sixth-generation (6G) antennas discussed in this chapter operate at sub-6 GHz and millimeter-wave frequencies. This paper proposed 6G Broadband Antennas (6G-BA) for Future Communication Networks. Antenna arrays, beam-steering methods, Meta surfaces, and multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technologies are all part of the plan for future and present rapid connection. In addition, the document included the topics of design requirements, research directions, technologies to be used, and challenges that may arise while creating, constructing, and testing sixth-generation (6G) antennas in the THz band. The appropriate technological solutions for antenna-in-package (AiP) and antenna-on-chip (AoC) technologies were also covered.
