Integrated DTV Antenna for Portable Media Player Application

Abstract

A broadband antenna integrated with the system ground plane of the Portable Media Player (PMP) device for digital television (DTV) signal reception is proposed. The antenna comprises of a quarter-wavelength monopole and a gaps-coupled open loop antenna that can generate two adjacent resonant modes to form a wide operation band. Result shows a wide bandwidth of 464-856 MHz to cover the DTV signal reception in 470-806 MHz band Details of the proposed antenna designs and experimental results of the construct prototypes are presented.

Improved Grating Monopole Antenna With Zigzag for DVB-T Application

“…This is due to the horizontal section. However, this relatively high cross-polarization level becomes an advantage for practical applications such as hand-held equipments, because their wave propagation environment is usually complex due to multiple reflections [36].…”

A Folded Metal-Plate Monopole Antenna With Shorted Pin for DTV Application

“…DTV broadcasting can provide high definition television (HDTV) programs, interactivity services and data services. Several types of DTV reception antennas which can be embedded in handheld devices have been proposed [1][2][3][4]. However, due to the development of the modern cities and an increase in mobile communication, the urban electromagnetic environment has become complex, sometime even obstructed.…”
