A low profile folded inverted-L antenna for T-DMB/UHF handset application

초록

A novel low profile and dual-band antenna for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and ultra high frequency (UHF) applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a folded inverted-L antenna and two open stubs. The designed low profile antenna occupies an antenna volume of 148 x 49 x 11 mm(3). The length of the folded radiating element is about 0.09 lambda at the resonant frequency of T-DMB application (180-210 MHz). The parasitic open stubs are utilized to obtain the wide bandwidth (50%) for UHF application (470-740 MHz). The maximum gains at the frequencies of T-DMB and DTV applications were -5 and +5 dBi, respectively. The radiation patterns are near omnidirectional at frequency of interest.
