Magnetic-field antenna for mobile reception of horizontally-polarised digital television-band signals

International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC), Vol. 19, No. 2, 2020

Abstract: This paper addresses a solution for an unmet need in the off-the-shelf antenna market. That unmet need is for a low-cost, wideband, Very-High and Ultra-High Frequency (VHF and UHF) and horizontally-polarised antenna that is suitable for mounting on vehicles. The solution that is described here is a magnetic field antenna that performs in the bands of interest, where its performance has been enhanced by the use of high-frequency magnetic materials. Although this antenna is not yet available commercially, it can be fabricated using readily available materials. Comparison data are presented that show that the magnetic-field antenna has reception characteristics very similar to currently-available antennas, although it is far better suited for mobile applications.
