DVB-H Antenna Design Using Folder-Type Chassis and Coupling Element on a Ferrite

This letter presents a new design concept of the digital video broadcast-handheld (DVB-H) antenna using the folder-type chassis and coupling element on a ferrite. By utilizing the chassis as a radiator in conjunction with a compact coupling element on a ferrite, the antenna achieves DVB-H operation without an additional matching circuit. The measured result shows the wide bandwidth of 250 MHz (VSWR< 6) with sufficient peak gains over -5 dBi in the DVB-H band.
