Fundamentally\, the propagation channel nee d to be studied in order to design and optimize wireless system performanc e. Of special relevance is the polarimetric spatio-temporal behavior of th e transfer functions between transmit and receive multi-port antennas at d ifferent frequency band from MHz to THz. The overall wireless system perfo rmance requirements dictates the desired antenna system characteristics\, e.g.\, bandwidth\, EIRP\, beams scanning\, etc. And therefore\, also the c hoice of antenna system technologies for a specific application is influen ced by the propagation channel\, e.g.\, frequency band and spatial distrib ution of users. Hence\, the need for the proper modelling of the interacti ons between the antennas and the propagation channel. In 5G systems and be yond\, multiple antenna systems known as massive MIMO play a fundamental r ole to serve many users with high data bitrates simultaneously over a wide spectrum known as spatial division multiplexing. Antenna systems are inte grated into wireless devices of all types (e.g.\, base stations\, smart ph ones\, laptops\, vehicles of all type\, etc.) and need to be characterized in the research and development stage\, also in type approval and conform ance testing as well as in the production line. As we are going towards 6G applications\, not only small or massive antenna systems deployed in vari ous devices need to be developed\, but new ways of enhancing the propagati on channel need to be devised.

Fundamentally\, the pr opagation channel need to be studied in order to design and optimize wirel ess system performance. Of special relevance is the polarimetric spatio-te mporal behavior of the transfer functions between transmit and receive mul ti-port antennas at different frequency band from MHz to THz. The overall wireless system performance requirements dictates the desired antenna syst em characteristics\, e.g.\, bandwidth\, EIRP\, beams scanning\, etc. And t herefore\, also the choice of antenna system technologies for a specific a pplication is influenced by the propagation channel\, e.g.\, frequency ban d and spatial distribution of users. Hence\, the need for the proper model ling of the interactions between the antennas and the propagation channel. In 5G systems and beyond\, multiple antenna systems known as massive MIMO play a fundamental role to serve many users with high data bitrates simul taneously over a wide spectrum known as spatial division multiplexing. Ant enna systems are integrated into wireless devices of all types (e.g.\, bas e stations\, smart phones\, laptops\, vehicles of all type\, etc.) and nee d to be characterized in the research and development stage\, also in type approval and conformance testing as well as in the production line. As we are going towards 6G applications\, not only small or massive antenna sys tems deployed in various devices need to be developed\, but new ways of en hancing the propagation channel need to be devised.
