Automotive Antenna Design and Applications

Wireless communication technologies support a host of innovative devices in modern vehicles, including digital and satellite radio, GPS, cell phones, and short range communication gadgets. Such applications require the use of multiple antennas operating in different frequency ranges.

thoroughly examines traditional and advanced automotive antennas, including the principles, designs, and techniques used to reduce antenna dimensions without significant degradation of communication quality. This book is based on cutting-edge data collected from numerous technical papers, patents, and patent applications. It presents an overview of many commercially available automotive antennas and covers features that have become standard in automotive applications.

Highlighting the practical aspects of antenna design, the authors introduce passive and active designs and describe the entire design process, including antenna simulation, prototype sample fabrication, and laboratory test measurements.
