摘要
A novel wideband low-profile planar antenna design based on the use of a high-impedance surface (HIS) is presented for digital television (DTV) reception in the UHF band. The proposed design is based on a wideband monopole antenna in close proximity to an artificial ground plane, composed of an array of square metal loops at the top, an air gap and a ground plane at the bottom, without grounded vias. Low-cost substrates are employed in the design: rigid PVC for the antenna and foamed PVC for the artificial ground plane. The advantages of the proposed design for DTV applications are high gain, low profile, light weight, low cost and large bandwidth. Details of the proposed antenna design are described, and measurements together with a comparison to a conventional antenna with PEC ground plane are presented.
