"5G is at its early stage and the adaption of 5G antennas for mobile devices remains a key challenge to the overall proliferation. 5G antennas allows the wireless industry to upgrade the wireless capacity 10-fold and also serve as the stepping-stone for 6G wireless, which is expected to be commercialized in the next 15 years. Advances in antenna technologies for cellular handheld devices have been synchronous with the evolution of mobile phones for nearly 40 years. Having gone through four major wireless evolutions starting from the analog based first generation to the current 4th generation mobile broadband (4G), technologies from manufacturers and their wireless network capacities today are advancing at unprecedented rates to meet our relentless service demand. However, there have been growing concerns on whether the currently existing 4G wireless cellular system and its related mobile antenna configuration will be able to sustain the perpetual demand for wireless traffic and its exponential growth rate in the next decade. Amid these concerns, discussions surrounding the upcoming 5th generation cellular system officially denoted as 5G has become one of the main discussion topics among wireless engineers and policy makers in recent years."-- Provided by publisher.
