The article provides an overview of the state of the art the area of smart antennas, and is particular focused on the reconfigurable antennas as the devices the most quickly developing during in recent years. This article brings together in a review manner a comprehensive summary of high quality research contributions across basic and applied sciences. As a result a broad spectrum of topics is covered reflecting the areas in which Institute of Radioelectronics’s expertise is a worldwide recognized. The transdisciplinary nature of most areas aims to stress a sense of purpose in the work developed.References
