1. An information handling system executing an integrated antenna power and cooling management system comprising:
a first antenna situated proximate to one or more components and a passive cooling structure of the information handling system;
a chassis enclosing the information handling system, the first antenna, and a wireless interface device with a wireless radio to generate a signal to transmit data via the first antenna, where the one or more components and the passive cooling structure proximate to the first antenna and the chassis are capable of absorbing a known total thermal heat capacity;
the chassis having an outer surface coming into contact with human skin during execution of the information handling system;
a temperature sensor to determine an operating temperature of at first antenna at the outer surface of the information handling system reaching a control point value; and
a processor executing code instructions of the integrated antenna power and cooling management system to:
estimate thermal output for the first antenna during the signal transmission of data relative to the known total thermal heat capacity of the one or more components and passive cooling structure proximate to the first antenna and the chassis; and
initiate an active cooling system for cooling the chassis when the estimated thermal output for the first antenna reaches a preset threshold percentage of the known total thermal heat capacity of the one or more components and passive cooling structure proximate to the first antenna and the chassis.
