Abstract:
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) communication are at the forefront of next-generation wireless networks, promising ultra-high data rates, low latency, and massive connectivity. However, the propagation characteristics at these high frequencies impose unique challenges for antenna design. This review paper examines the state-of-the-art in antenna technologies for mmWave and THz communication, discussing various design methodologies, materials, and configurations such as microstrip, phased arrays, and reconfigurable antennas. We analyze the challenges including high path loss, fabrication precision, and thermal management, and explore emerging trends like the use of metamaterials and nanomaterials to overcome these obstacles. Finally, future research directions and potential applications in 5G/6G, IoT, and beyond are discussed.
