Double-Dielectric Microstrip Ultrahigh-Frequency Antenna for Digital Terrestrial Television

Double-Dielectric Microstrip Ultrahigh-Frequency Antenna for Digital Terrestrial Television

In many countries, terrestrial broadcasting is the main delivery medium for television. In this paper, we propose a small-volume practical receiving antenna. Our design consists of a linear array of three vertically placed patch antennas which increase antenna gain. The antenna has a double-dielectr...
