TLDR
In this article, a broadband planar antenna structure for a DVB-H receiver is presented, which is based on the compact coupling element antenna structure that was earlier applied for GSM systems.Abstract:
For the reception of terrestrial television, traditionally Yagi or whip antennas are used. Due to their large size they cannot be used in the reception of digital television on handheld devices (DVB-H), which operate at the frequency band 470 – 702 MHz. The DVB-H system is under development and small internal antenna solutions for handheld devices are not yet available. Due to the long wavelengths, any antenna placed inside a portable terminal will be electrically small. The antenna volume is the fundamental factor determining its performance. With traditional microstrip antennas such as PIFAs the required bandwidth could not be obtained inside a pocket-size terminal. Therefore, a broadband planar antenna structure for a DVB-H receiver is presented in this paper. The antenna structure is based on the compact coupling element antenna structure [1] that was earlier applied for GSM systems [2].read more

An impedance-matching technique for increasing the bandwidth of microstrip antennas
Hugo Pues,A. Van de Capelle +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed broadband impedance matching as a natural way to increase the bandwidth of conventional microstrip patch antennas and found that by using an optimally designed impedance-matching network, the bandwidth can be increased by a factor of at least 3.9, the exact value depending on the degree of matching required.
