Abstract

In this paper, inverted-F and whip antenna combination for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) communication with notebook computer is presented. An inverted-F antenna (IFA) was designed as an internal antenna for 200 MHz band (Korea T-DMB operating frequency band). The IFA can be modified to a whip antenna in weak-receiving signal area. The simulation and measurement results show that the IFA and whip antenna combination can cover Korea T-DMB frequency range on notebook computer. The real T-DMB reception test was performed. The bit error rate (BER) of the proposed antenna configuration is compared to the BER of external quarter wave-length whip antenna
