        abstract = {The evolution of wireless communication technologies from 1G to 5G has revolutionized world connectivity, supporting applications ranging from voice calls to terabit-per-second data transfer and IoT networks. The next generation (6G) of wireless communication has the potential to offer even higher capabilities in the form of terabit-per-second data rates, ultrareliable low-latency communication (URLLC), and enabling applications such as holography, extended reality (XR), and intelligent transportation. To cater to these needs, antenna technologies need to be advanced to offer greater gain, wider bandwidth, and improved adaptability. Microstrip antennas, due to their small structure, low profile, and simple fabrication, find extensive application in sub-6 GHz spectrum for 5G and are expected to contribute significantly to initial 6G implementations. This survey analyzes microstrip antenna technologies for sub-6 GHz and their extension into 6G systems. It includes antenna basics, microstrip antenna types, feeding methods, performance measures like gain and bandwidth, communication frequency bands, and addresses challenges and potential opportunities for future wireless networks.},
