Abstract
This work presents a novel broadband monopole antenna for digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) application. The proposed antenna consists of a grating zigzag patch and a concave rectangular ground plane. The zigzag patch is used to enable the antenna height reduction for fixed ranges of operating frequency. The proposed antenna can operate from 420 MHz to 1050 MHz frequency range corresponding to 85% of impedance bandwidth for |S11| better than -10 dB. This covers the working frequency band (470-862 MHz ) of DVB-T system. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is omnidirectional across the desired operating frequency band. Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussed. Furthermore than the bandwidth enhancement, we have also arranged the structure for network antennas application.
