Residential home wiring as an antenna

[waran87]

I really need help regarding this...its actually mimicking the monopole antenna design in Hfss as a wire in normal home and find out the radiation properties..the frequency of it is between 80MHz to 890Mhz...does anyone done this before?

I have never design so wide band ANT.
you can find spiral materails as reference.

The problem with the house wiring is that it goes in random directions. You could easily get null patterns. Also, there is noise on the lines which would reduce the sensitivity of your receiver.

the band that i have given is actually the entire band of spectrum allocations for radios and television...practically speaking its hard to design such band where it statisfy all the frequency...between have design combinations of monopole that can eventually go up to 650Mhz with a good return loss and a reasonable radiation pattern????
