Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of DVB-T technology for television broadcast community located in Bandung Institute of Technology campus. TV transmitter is designed to serve the campus community of the ITB campus Bandung with an area of about 25 acres. The design focuses on dipole transmitter antenna that produces an omnidirectional radiation pattern and works at a frequency of 570 MHz. The dipole antenna array which has been designed and fabricated meets the required specifications in term of return loss, VSWR, and with omnidirectional radiation pattern.
