Summary:
In 2011, Digital terrestrial broadcasting system (@470-710 MHz band) was replaced analog TV broadcasting in Japan. It has the merit such as being able to transmit a clear picture and sound, to provide the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) and data broadcasting service to the portable equipment. Therefore, those systems have been gathering attention as a new information medium. Especially, the performance enhancement of the antenna installed in the RF device becomes the requirement for the receivable coverage improvement. To solve this problem, it is possible to use wearable antenna. This has the advantage whose restriction of the size is less than built-in type antenna for the RF device. On the other hand, the antenna is installed near the human bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the existence of the human body in the antenna design. In addition, the antenna should be shape that does not disturb the human usual activity. In this report, the antenna loading to the human head is attempted. Concretely, it is investigated to set up the antenna on headband.
