Abstract

A metal-plate monopole antenna for indoor digital television (DTV) signal coverage in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) is presented. The proposed antenna is a planar metal-plate monopole with symmetrical bevels, which is easily fabricated by a single metal plate. Parametric study on the metal-plate parameters is conducted to achieve a return loss of 10 dB over the DTV band frequency range (470–860 MHz). The stability of the radiation pattern is also presented.
