Abstract - The sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication system is envisioned to support unprecedented data rates, ultra-low latency, and massive connectivity. Antennas, being critical components in wireless systems, must undergo revolutionary transformations to meet these demands. This paper reviews the evolving landscape of 6G antenna technology, including the challenges, enabling materials, emerging design paradigms, and future research directions. Technologies such as terahertz (THz) antennas, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), massive MIMO, and metamaterials are discussed. The integration, miniaturization, and environmental adaptability of antennas are identified as pivotal research challenges for the successful deployment of 6G networks.
