In this paper, we present a frequency tunable antenna suitable for Digital Video Broadcasting Handheld applications. Due to the narrow operating frequency band of the antenna derived from a monopole coupled loop antenna, a tuning system has been proposed to sweep the narrow band on a large frequency range in order to cover the DVB-H frequency bandwidth [470-702] MHz. We provide results of this antenna mounted on a circuit board simulating a terminal handset.
