development is expected to continue to help improve quality of services, increase channel capacity, and minimize adverse propagation effects such as fading and multipath interference. Progress has been significant, and it is hoped that the development of an antenna system that achieves optimum communication advantages while causing minimum or no effect on the human body will be a reality soon.
