Summary:
Recently, many kinds of wearable fabric antennas for GPS reception have been developed [1], [2]. On the other hand, the wideband antenna application for receiving digital television broadcasting wave from 470 MHz to 770 MHz in Japan is required for mobile terminals. To fulfil this requirement, many kinds of wearable fabric antennas have been developed as an external antenna. [3]-[5]. However, in these antennas, the radiation level to the human body the direction was very high. So, the antenna characteristic was influenced from the human body. Therefore, it is required to suppress the radiation level in human body direction. In this paper, new wideband wearable antenna suppressed radiation in human body direction for digital television reception is proposed. Details of the simulated results of the proposed antenna are presented and discussed.
