Abstract :
This paper presents a compact inverted F antenna which is dedicated to the Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) standard. This antenna is suitable to small mobile devices and the operating frequency is tuned with a hyperabrupt varactor diode component. The antenna dimensions are very small and it covers the entire DVB-H band going from 470 MHz to 862 MHz. Low cost, compactness, wide frequency range coverage and low frequencies are the main advantages of this antenna. Moreover, good performances are obtained in simulations and in measurements.
