A small meander line antenna for T-DMB applications

A small meander line antenna for T-DMB (Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is presented. The antenna proposed here is based on a typical planar meander line antenna and miniaturized by using a double-sided structure. A prototype antenna is manufactured based on the simulation results and the basic performances are measured. The presented antenna is designed within a dimension of 30×14mm and can be adopted for various mobile applications.
