Bibliometric Analysis of Reconfigurable Antennas in Radar Applications

Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research articles on reconfigurable antennas in radar applications retrieved from Google Scholar databases from 1989 to 2024. A total of 980 research articles are analysed, demonstrating significant interest and commitment to the topic, as evidenced by a total of 22.073 citations. Important metrics such as citations per year (649.21), citations per article (22.52), and citations per author (9,529). It highlight the importance and impact of research in this area. Collaboration is common, with an average of 410.95 articles per author and about three authors per article. The geographical analysis highlights the contributions of institutions in the United States and Switzerland. The study identifies emerging trends and future directions and highlights the need for dynamic antenna reconfiguration techniques, integration challenges, and energy-efficient solutions. The bibliometric analysis gives valuable insights into the current investigation landscape on reconfigurable antennas for radar applications.
