A new compact antenna for digital television reception based on the eleven antenna

This article presents a new TV antenna based on the so-called Eleven antenna for receiving digital television. The Eleven antenna is a log-periodic folded dipole array, which can cover decade bandwidth. The new TV antenna, a variation of the Eleven antenna, is nearly planar and very compact, and therefore provides an additional alternative to the other common TV antennas like Yagi-Uda antenna and V-dipole antenna.
