Future of communication and sensing network is being transformed with the advancement in next generations of wireless with beyond-5G, beyond-WiFi-8, VR/XR/Metaverse and other applications. Higher quality of experiences for connected future with ubiquitous lowest latency and superhigh data rate connectivity services will require innovative wireless technologies and communication hardware combined with AI/ML. Mobile platform integrated RF systems with antenna front ends are common factor for most of the wireless applications. Emerging usage scenarios will need intelligent mobile platforms with ultra-small form-factor, requiring co-design and heterogeneous integration of dis-similar semiconductor device, circuit and antenna technologies, in order to satisfy the desired application-specific performance criteria. 
This presentation will focus on the antenna-integrated RF to mm-wave/THz antenna/array integrated frontend opportunities and challenges demanding new technology, design, development and integration. Example architectures enabling multifunction microsystem platform will be discussed.
