“…The original antenna geometry is a zigzag shaped monopole (Figure 1(a)), this is derived from a combination between an ordinary L-shaped monopole antenna [31,35] and grating monopole antenna [7], that can clearly achieve a minimum antenna length. To achieve 420 to 1050-MHz wide-band operation proposed here, the zigzagshape patch was derived from a square monopole antenna and can be viewed as superposition of two patches; a vertically oriented Lshaped antenna [31], and another horizontally aligned patch.…”

“…They have several advantages such as low-cost, wide bandwidth, omni-directional pattern and ease of integration into a PCB. Therefore they are attractive for portable systems, such as ultra wideband (UWB) communication systems [2][3][4], wireless local area network (WLAN) [5], Science and Medical (ISM) systems [6], and Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) applications [7][8][9][10]. The DVB-T system has been adopted by many countries.…”

“…Several types of monopole antennas have been developed using several techniques to achieve the broad bandwidth that is needed for DVB-T applications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. These techniques include the use of a concavity in the ground plane [7], sleeve monopole antenna [16][17][18], circular-ring monopole antennas [19], a multiple-ring monopole antenna with sleeve-shaped ground [9] and a bevelling radiating element [20].…”

Abstract-This work presents a novel broadband monopole antenna for digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) application. The proposed antenna consists of a grating zigzag patch and a concave rectangular ground plane. The zigzag patch is used to enable the antenna height reduction for fixed ranges of operating frequency. The proposed antenna can operate from 420 MHz to 1050 MHz frequency range corresponding to 85% of impedance bandwidth for |S 11 | better than −10 dB. This covers the working frequency band (470-862 MHz) of DVB-T system. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is omnidirectional across the desired operating frequency band. Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussed. Furthermore than the bandwidth enhancement, we have also arranged the structure for network antennas application.

“…For this reason, a simple antenna as a transducer between the DTV transceiver and the propagating medium is much desirable if it could operate at DTV bands. Planar printed antennas include broadband dipole [1,2] and broadband monopole antennas [3][4][5]. On account of horizontally polarized DTV signals, the horizontally oriented antenna is a very promising candidate for DTV signal reception, and desirable radiation patterns for devices are usually omni-directional, therefore, a dipole antenna could be expected.…”

Abstract-A printed dipole antenna with back to back asymmetric dual-C-shape uniform strips capable of generating a wide operating band for digital television (DTV) signal reception in the 470-862 MHz band is presented. This antenna is associated with C-shape strips and asymmetric structure, and it operates band in 455-865 MHz. By proper adjusting some parameters, it is possible to achieve a broadband response. Measured results have been compared with simulation and found in a good agreement. The antenna with back to back asymmetric dual-C-shape uniform strips can generate two adjacent resonant modes to form a wide operating band of larger than 62% in 2.5 : 1 VSWR bandwidth, which is much wider than that of the corresponding back to back symmetric dual-C-shape strips dipole antenna. The experimental results show that stable radiation pattern is similar to a dipole antenna. The measured peak gains are 3.2 dBi and 2.3 dBi, at 620 MHz and 780 MHz, respectively. The radiation efficiencies are all larger than 60% for an entire DTV band.

In this article, we use a tool NEC (Numerical Electromagnetic Code) to model antenna on top of a tower structure. Simulation results for the parasitic effect of the tower on characteristics of broadcast DVB‐T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) antenna such as input impedance, return loss, gain, front‐to‐back ratio and radiation patterns are reported. In addition, the effect of a nearby tower on antenna characteristics is studied. A 3D tower and broadband antenna in the UHF (470‐862) MHz band are constructed. The antenna works for both digital and analog TV with return loss (RL) ≥ 10 dB, fractional bandwidth of 87% and gain of 12.3 dBi at center frequency. The effective radiated power is calculated by mounting the antenna at each face of the tower to give a satisfactory coverage to a region around the antenna.
