We have proposed a novel digital video broadcast for handheld (DVB‐H) antenna for mobile handheld terminal using a U‐shaped radiator and a simple matching circuit. The matching circuit consists of two chip capacitors and one chip inductor, and is used for achieving an improved impedance matching over the DVB‐H frequency band of 470–702 MHz. The proposed antenna was designed, fabricated, and measured. The proposed antenna covers the entire DVB‐H band for VSWR < 2.5. The simulated antenna gain varies from 2.1 to 2.8 dBi over the operating frequency range. The obtained radiation patterns are very close to those of a conventional dipole antenna. Details of the proposed antenna design and the simulated and measured results are presented and discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
