Study on a combined televisin Receiving Antenna

전대역 TV 전파수신 안테나의 개발연구

The low channels with frequency range of 54~88MHz and the high channels with frequency range if 174~216 MHz are in use for TV broadcasting in Korea. Since the ratio of the highest frequency to the lowest frequency is 4 to 1, only a logarithmic periodic antenna cou1d cover such an wide frequency range. But, this log-periodic antenna should be big in size. Studies have been done on an antenna of small size with reasonable gain which combines through a channel filter a LPD antenna if low channel with boom length of 2m and a LPD antenna of high channel with boom length of 1.8m. The whole antenna is connected to feeder line through a talun. Experiment shows that the gain of low and high channels is 7 dB and 9 dB respectively, which are lower than theoretical values br nomore than ldB. The difference seemed to come from slight impedance mismatches between antennas and feeder lines, loss in the filter and measurement errors.
