Abstract :
This paper presents an active antenna dedicated to the mobile TV standards DVB-H, T-DMB or DVB-SH. This meander antenna uses PIN diodes inserted in different points of the radiating element to dynamically cover the frequency band needed for these standards with a sufficient bandwidth. The insertion of active components allows to compensate the drawback of the small volume of this miniature antenna. This novel radiating structure has been developed within the NAOMI project supported by the french ANR (National Agency for the Research).
