Abstract :
A built-in antenna for a USB key like digital terrestrial TV receiver allowing free to air reception of digital terrestrial TV on a computer PC has been designed, realized and tested. The housing of the compact receiver is used as part of the antenna. The antenna design is optimized so that it covers the whole UHF frequency bandwidth with good radiation efficiency, while its size is imposed by the USB-key form factor. The obtained results are compliant with simulations
