This thesis applies a finite difference time domain simulation software package, XFDTD to design the concealed on glass printed automobile antennas for the use of receiving digital video broadcasting. In this study, antenna diversity for the purpose of improving the mobile reception of the digital video broadcasting is evaluated. Also, the return loss, radiation patterns and actual receiving performances of the designed antennas are measured. Those antennas may be applied in automobiles for receiving the wireless digital TV signals. Since the advantage of the wireless digital video broadcasting is to provide high quality mobile receiving, the design of concealed on glass printed automobile antennas may therefore expand remote business and the market of the RV van.
