Abstract

Antennas serve as the cornerstone of modern wireless communication systems, enabling the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves over the air. Antenna theory encompasses a diverse range of principles, concepts, and methodologies that govern the design, analysis, and optimization of antennas for various applications. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth exploration of antenna theory, covering fundamental concepts, antenna parameters, radiation mechanisms, antenna types, design methodologies, and practical applications. By delving into the intricacies of antenna theory, this review aims to elucidate the underlying principles and techniques that underpin the design and operation of antennas in wireless communication systems.
