Abstract— The primary objectives of next-generation technology for communication and 6G Antennas functioning in the terahertz (THz) frequency technologies are to attain elevated data rates, minimize energy consumption, and facilitate extended connectivity. These goals are driven by the substantial proliferation of devices belonging to the Internet of Things and 6G antenna technology. These electronic devices are expected to be used for a variety of services including cellular communication, environmental monitoring, telemedicine, biological applications, and intelligent traffic management, among others. Hence, the present communication devices have difficulties in accommodating a large variety of services. This article provides a concise overview of the underlying factors driving the development of the 6G communication system, as well as an examination of its inherent capabilities and distinguishing characteristics. Subsequently, a concise overview is provided regarding the present cutting-edge 5G antenna technology, including the utilization of prevailing 6G Antennas functioning in the terahertz (THz) frequency ranges. The research also delineated the efficacious methodologies and strategies used in current antenna design endeavors, which have the potential to alleviate the obstacles and apprehensions associated with the nascent 5G & 6G applications. The research article concludes by presenting the main characteristics and prerequisites of 6G Antennas that operate in the terahertz frequency range, catering to the demands of future-generation technology.

Keywords—antenna,  6G, characteristics, design.
