Internal Reconfgurable Dipole–Loop Antenna Array for High Reception Rate of Wideband UHD‑TV Applications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

An internal reconfgurable Dipole–Loop antenna array, covering the entire ultra-high frequency (UHF) band for ultra-high defnition television (UHD-TV) applications is presented. The internal antenna array is used to overcome the infuence of electromagnetic interference when integrating the antenna element inside the TV model and to increase the gain and reception rate of receiving signals for television broadcasting. The antenna array is designed based on the Dipole–Loop antenna elements, placing on substrate material PC-ABS (polycarbonate-acrylonitrile butadiene styrene: εr=3.5, tan δ=0.005) of the bezel frame in the TV model. By simultaneously switching PIN diodes with two ON/OFF states, the antenna array can be frequency reconfgured to achieve a wide operating bandwidth for UHF (470–771 MHz) band. The spacing between the antenna elements in the array at each mode is chosen as 0.5λ0 (λ0 represents the free space wavelength of the highest frequency in the operating band). The proposed antenna array is designed, fabricated, and tested for experimental verifcation.
Measurement results show that the antenna array is good for high reception rate of UHD-TV applications, with a −6 dB impedance bandwidth of 51.6% (460‒780 MHz), covering the whole UHF band. The 3 dB gain bandwidths of 42.5% and 54.6% are obtained with peak realized gains of 9.6 dBi and 8.5 dBi for the horizontal and vertical polarizations, respectively.
In addition, the diversity performance parameters are obtained and evaluated using the mean efective gains of the elements, and the diversity gain using both simulation and measurement results. It shows that the proposed antenna array can receive multi-side signals, applied in diversity and MIMO systems.
