Abstract

In this paper we present a multi band antenna capable of supporting DVB-H, GSM and WCDMA communication protocols. The frequency bands covered by the antenna are: DVB-H (470-780 MHz), GSM-I(880-915 / 925-960 MHz), GSM-II (1710-1785 / 1805-1880 MHz), and WCDMA Band I (1920-1980 / 2110-2170 MHz). The antenna is part of the Software Defined Radio platform designed by Sandbridge Technologies.
