Abstract This article presents a study on a dielectric‐loaded folded monopole antenna operating at ultra high frequency band for Digital Video Broadcasting‐Handheld terminals. It is an optimization of the folded monopole antenna in our previous work. The proposed antenna has a 43% reduction in volume when compared with the previous design. Because of the ground plane independency of the antenna, the proposed antenna can be mounted on any type of ground plate, thus improving the adaptability to different terminal designs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
