Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld
devices (DVB-H) is a technical specification
for bringing broadcast services to
handheld receivers. It will be possible to
watch TV mobile devices such as mobile
phones. However, since the typical size of
a mobile phone is small compared to the
wavelength of the transmitted DVB-H signals, designing the internal antenna is very challenging.
In this Master Thesis we focused our attention
on internal tuneable antennas that
we simulated using FDTD technique. We
investigated the previous work done on
DVB-H antennas as a starting point. It
appeared that the use of matching circuits
was necessary to cover the whole
band of interest to have a good trade-off
between the antenna size and its performances.
However, simple matching techniques
such as L networks were not efficient
enough. This is why we focused on broadband
matching technique. We used a simple
wire as antenna and improved its performances
using Chebyshev matching filters.
The whole DVB-H band has been
covered using less than half the number
of previously used matching circuits. This
improved consequently the performances
while minimizing the total losses.
