Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to design a DTV reception antenna on glass by taking advantages of some unique features of fractal geometry. One UHF capacitive balun is designed as well and attached to the antenna for impedance transformation from coaxial unbalanced 75 ohm to the dipole´s 300 ohm. Techniques are also applied to further minimize the antenna´s length and the overall copper areas for better commercial adoption
