A development of novel hybrid antenna for UHF and X-band

Novel hybrid antenna for UHF and X-band was developed, and the utility was examined by the field test in this paper. The BS reception performance of novel hybrid antenna is not inferiority in a commercial antenna (output voltage; 62.2–54.4dBµV and CN ratio; 26.8–21.1dB in commercial antenna). It will be necessary to improve the reception probability of HD-TV to deform the radiation pattern of UHF to the omni directional pattern in the future.
