Abstract :
An active receiving antenna based on a printed monopole and a bipolar transistor is presented in this paper. A transistor is used in order to miniaturize the size and increase the bandwidth of the active receiving antenna in VHF band. The influence of the transistor location on the behavior of a active antenna is investigated. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
