In 5G, the frequencies used are in the 28/39 GHz range, and thanks to advances in packaging, manufacturing, and material measurement, it is much easier to develop, measure, and manufacture a highly efficient system. Since 6G components must operate at extremely high frequencies, they must be designed, processed, and packaged accordingly.
