28 Liu et al. omnidirectional patterns are shown in both 510 MHz and 770 MHz resonances and the 770 MHz radiation patterns present higher gain the 510 MHz radiation patterns. The measured antenna gain is varied about 2.2 to 4.0 dBi shown in Fig. 8. For the design methodology, the center frequency of the response is decided by the square loop sleeve length. The bandwidth determined by the lower and upper resonances is related to the path 1 SIR and the path 2 SIR dimensions respectively. The flat response can be controlled by the gap width.

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 14, 2010 29 4. CONCLUSION A novel broadband <strong>CPW</strong>-fed sleeve monopole antenna has been constructed and experimentally studied. The measured results of the proposed antenna show that this design not only provides a wide operating bandwidth (BW = 393 MHz, 58.9%) with good impedance matching covering the whole DTV band (from 470 to 863 GHz) but also deliver high antenna gain varied about 2.2 to 4.0 dBi. An attractive feature of the antenna is its circularly-polarized characteristic due to the orthogonal mode among the complementary SIR radiators. The proposed antenna is a valuable candidate for DVB signal reception and CP applications. REFERENCES 1. Wong, K. L., Y. W. Chi, B. Chen, and S.
