With the expansion in number and requirements of modern wireless communications, the technology related to their associated antennas has been continuously improved. Among other options, printed antennas offer excellent features, such as low weight, profile, and cost, while maintaining good performance characteristics. In addition, their straightforward integration with electronics has opened new fields of application such as smart sensing systems. Printed antennas can be used in different parts of a wireless smart sensor as a radio link, sensing element, or even as energy harvester. In this paper, we present a thorough review of recent advances of printed antennas as regards their use in smart sensing applications.
