A novel internal metal‐plate monopole antenna suitable for digital television (DTV) signal reception in the UHF band for laptops is presented. The proposed antenna is a U‐shaped metal‐plate monopole with a compact cross‐sectional area of 5 × 10 mm 2 . When mounted at the top edge of the supporting metal frame of the laptop display, the proposed antenna shows a low profile of 10 mm only, yet provides a wide operating bandwidth (2.5:1 VSWR) of 310 MHz (about 50% centered at 625 MHz), making it not only suitable for DTV signal reception in the UHF band but also capable of being embedded within the casing of the laptop as an internal antenna. The proposed internal DTV receiving antenna is implemented and studied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
