Low Cost Prototype of an Outdoor Dual Patch Antenna Array for the Openly TV Frequency Ranges in Mexico

The interest in this area is because of the fact that the openly TV is one of the most important communication media in our country. From information supplied in 2009 in the National Survey over availability and use of Technologies, it reveals that the 72.8% of the population uses the services of the openly TV (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica [INEGI], 2009). A TV can be found in almost all homes of the country, but only 13.6% correspond to digital technology, while only a half of homes with a digital TV requires signal payment. The availability of TVs in Mexican homes in 2010 remained without severe changes (INEGI, 2010).
