The wireless communication serves the efficient information among two or more points wirelessly. Antenna is the main component in the communica-tion, which radiates and receives the radio waves or in broad way. The an-tenna also plays a role of impedance matching device, which performs the mat- ching of impedances like free-space & transmitter and receiver im-pedances at receiver end. The antennas can be categorized as Wire Antenna, Reflector Antenna, Multi-strip Antenna, Aperture Antenna, Lens Antenna, and Array Antenna. In this paper, the Multi-strip Antenna fundamentals are discussed with its categorization. In this paper various aspects of the Multi-strip antenna are discussed along with the existing researches in it. A research gap is formulated based on the research survey and presents a future scope of research. The existing research gap in Multi-strip Antenna is formulated along with the future line of research in order to overcome the existing research gap.
