Abstract
In this paper, LPDA standard antenna for measuring DTV signal strength is developed. Duralumin material is used to fabricate antenna having mechanical strength and flexibility. Operating frequency of designed antenna is range from $450{\sim}850$MHz and its gain is greater than 10 dBd to satisfy FCC requirements. Experimental results show that the developed antenna has minimum 10 dBd gain (average 11.7 dBd) over the entire frequency region and has ${\pm}1.5$ dB pass band ripple characteristic, From the results, the developed antenna is well adequate for standard antenna to measure DTV signal strength.
