Recent Advancements in Quasi-Isotropic Antennas: A Review

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 p...

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.
