Abstract :
The impedance matching for frequencies across the 470-862 MHz band is all within VSWR of 3 (better than 6 dB), which covers both DVB-H band and channels 14-69 for DTV reception. The studies on the corresponding centre-fed dipole antenna with a feed gap of 3 mm were also conducted. The results (not shown for brevity) indicate that the achievable bandwidth is only about one-fifth bandwidth of the proposed antenna, which is far from covering the desired bandwidth. The radiation characteristics were obtained using ETSLindgren OTA test system in the CTIA authorized test laboratory. It can be seen that similar omnidirectional radiation patterns to those of the conventional centre-feed dipoles are obtained. Other frequencies in the bands of interest were also measured, and no appreciable difference in patterns was found. The measured peak antenna gain is in the range of 1.0-3.2 dBi and radiation efficiency exceeds about 70%.
