As has been shown in previous chapters, there are different approaches to designing UWB antennas. Particular types have been proposed for different applications, from wireless mobile communications and body area networks,
Methodologies,
to spectrum monitoring applications. Of all these UWB antennas, some have become more popular due to their performance and compact structure.
