Wideband planar monopole antenna for digital TV reception and UHF band communications

Abstract

A novel wideband planar monopole antenna is proposed for wireless communication services and digital TV broadcasting signal reception in the ultra‐high‐frequency (UHF) band. The proposed antenna is a variation of the conventional planar triangular monopole. To obtain wideband characteristics and high gain, a notch is cut at the top side, and several steps are added to the oblique sides of a triangular patch. In addition, slopes are created at the front‐ and back‐side ground planes, in order to further increase the bandwidth. Impedance matching has been optimised by adjusting the gap between the patch and the ground plane. The measured results show that the bandwidth is 2610 MHz in the range of 450–3060 MHz (148.72% bandwidth), which covers the entire UHF band. In the operating frequency range, the peak and the average peak gains in the E‐plane were 2.73–6.09 and 4.62 dBi, respectively.

Broadband printed dipole antenna with integrated balun and tuning element for DTV application

“…The constructed antenna was tested, and its performance was The proposed antenna is compared with other DTV antennas reported in literature in Table 2. The antenna designs in references [6], [7], [23], [24], [26] and [27], in addition to covering the frequency band for digital TV receiver systems also cover frequency bands outside the specified Digital TV band (470-800 MHz) which can cause frequency interference from other transmitters that can degrade the quality of TV signal reception. The operating band of the dipole antenna in [25] falls short for DTV and it has a lower average gain than the proposed antenna.…”

“…A recent example of another LPDA antenna design is reported in [5]. Investigated in [6] is a planar wideband monopole antenna for wireless telecommunication applications and DTV receivers in the UHF band. This antenna is a modified version of triangular-shaped planar wideband monopole antenna.…”

Design of a Circularly Polarized Planar Monopole Antenna with a Simplified Radiator Structure for UWB Applications

“…Planar monopole antennas have emerged as a prominent choice for CP antennas due to its compact size, low profile, and wideband characteristics. These antennas are particularly well suited for a variety of wideband applications that involve limited space because they can be seamlessly integrated into devices [4][5][6][7].…”

Printed Monopole Antenna with Tree-Like Radiating Patch and Flower Vase-Shaped Modified Ground Plane Useful for Wideband Applications

“…A half-circular patch antenna with a circular-like ground plane energized by a coplanar waveguide feed line that is useful for ultrawide-band application was published in [4]. A modified triangular-like broadband antenna that provides a 0.45-3.060 GHz impedance bandwidth with a 6-dBi peak gain was suggested for TV communication and ultra-high-frequency band application [5]. The antenna provides.…”
