Abstract :
Tunable antenna techniques for Cognitive Radio applications are getting more and more attention in portable device antenna designs. One of the most difficult applications is the integration of a DVB-H antenna into a mobile telephone terminal for television reception. This paper presents designs for tunable mobile phone antennas which cover the DVB-H band of 470-702 MHz and the mobile telephone bands from 820-960 MHz and 1710-2200 MHz.
