Figure 4.19. Example <strong>of</strong> four different matching circuits covering the <strong>DVB</strong>-H<br />

frequency band.<br />

The first switched monopole has no switches so soldering was needed to be able<br />

to switch between the matching circuits. This first prototype was built just to<br />

verify that this concept was possible <strong>for</strong> a <strong>DVB</strong>-H antenna, a picture <strong>of</strong> the<br />

antenna can be seen in figure 4.20<br />

Figure 4.20. Switched monopole without RF switches.<br />

The ground plane used <strong>for</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the switched monopole prototypes is 110*60 mm<br />

and the antenna element is 70*10 mm. The dimensions <strong>of</strong> the antenna element are<br />

very important parameters <strong>for</strong> the antenna characteristic, the length affects the<br />

resonance frequency and the width <strong>of</strong> the element affects the bandwidth <strong>of</strong> the
