| description | Quasi-isotropic antennas are promising candidates due to their applications in modern communication systems, where full spatial coverage and/or uniform signal reception is required. In this work, an in-depth review of quasi-isotropic antennas is presented, with the aim of understanding the working principles of such antennas and presenting the recent advancements, challenges, and solutions offered by various researchers. First, different design techniques adopted to achieve quasi-isotropic patterns, such as the use of complementary dipoles, multiple monopoles or dipoles, and an array of discrete elements are discussed. Then, different types of quasi-isotropic antennas—for example, planar, electrically small, 3-D printed, dual-band/wideband, circularly polarized, metamaterial-inspired, and dielectric resonator-based quasi-isotropic antennas—are revisited. Their applications in various technologies, such as RFID, energy harvesting, wireless sensor networks, and the IoT, are briefly explained. Lastly, different key performance parameters, such as complexity of configuration, design approach, physical profile, far field and radiation characteristics, reflection coefficients, operating frequency and bandwidth, gain deviation, and fabrication process, are discussed and tabulated. This review not only provides a guideline but will also help antenna engineers in designing a quasi-isotropic antenna with desirable performance. |
