“…Table 1 provides the performance comparison between the proposed antenna and other LTE antennas for automotive mobile communications. Comparison to other antennas in References 9,11‐13, the proposed antenna with a compact volume can cover the 698 to 960 and 1710 to 2690 MHz bands simultaneously. It is worth noting that the proposed compact LTE antenna is realized without additional matching network, which degrades the radiation efficiency.…”

“…However, the height of this antenna is 73 mm, which cannot meet the EU specification of 60 mm 8 . Although the antennas in References 12 and 13 can create two widebands to cover 698 to 960 and 1710 to 2690 MHz, they occupy large space which is difficult to place more antennas in the shark‐fin plastic shell. An integrated shark‐fin antenna consisting of four antennas is proposed in Reference 14.…”

This letter presents a compact long‐term evolution antenna, which is capable of covering 698 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2690 MHz bands simultaneously for automotive mobile communications. Taking performance and aesthetic appeal into account, the antenna is placed in a shark fin plastic shell, which is mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The proposed antenna is mainly composed of a feeding monopole, a grounded strip, a parasitic strip, and a parasitic patch. The lower band is covered by the quarter‐wavelength resonant modes of the feeding monopole and grounded strip. The higher band is originally generated by the high order modes of the feeding monopole and grounded strip, and further widened by the quarter wavelength resonant modes of two parasitic structures. The utilization of some miniaturization techniques, such as parasitic radiating elements, loading substrate, and meandering radiating elements, enables the proposed antenna to achieve a compact structure. Therefore, the proposed antenna only occupies a compact volume of 29 mm × 15 mm × 57 mm. It is worth noting that the proposed antenna achieves two widebands without additional matching network. Besides, the proposed antenna has omnidirectional radiation patterns in the azimuthal plane for the working bands.

“…[], a low profile, wideband car‐to‐car (C2C) communication antenna has been implemented. Boosted by the automotive communications requirements in future intelligent applications, it is expected that more multi‐resonant, low‐profile C2C antennas with enhanced performance and simplified configuration would be developed in the future …”

A survey of multi‐resonant antennas is comprehensively presented, with emphasis on theoretical framework, design approaches, and practical examples. This article begins with a brief history of the multi‐resonant dipole theory, and then concentrates on the design approaches that have been developed to typical, basic antenna elements, for example, electric dipole antenna, slotline antenna, loop antenna, complementary dipole antenna, and microstrip patch antenna. Design examples for different practical applications are then raised. In final, the multi‐resonant antenna design approach is summarized and compared to some relevant antenna design techniques.

“…This antenna covers the 4G frequencies and can be easily integrated into the shark‐fin housing. A double‐shorted monopole antenna and a drop‐shaped antenna are integrated to obtain a three‐dimensional antenna suitable for integration in the shark‐fin housing. The former antenna covers LTE and GSM frequencies while the latter covers WiMAX, WiFi, DCS, and PCS frequencies.…”

This article presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a broadband directional slot antenna and its application in a vehicular environment. The proposed antenna consists of a slot antenna fed by a simple microstrip line. Broadband impedance matching is achieved by replacing the conventional microstrip line with a modified microstrip line. The modified microstrip line consists of a microstrip line terminated with an impedance transformer and a square patch. The proposed antenna offers 76.9% bandwidth centered around 4.8 GHz covering most of the communication applications between 3 and 6.75 GHz. Furthermore, the antenna's radiation pattern is shaped to obtain the desired directional characteristics using a simple reflector and array of via holes. The typical gain enhancement is 2.45 dBi at 5 GHz. This gain enhanced slot antenna is further used to construct the four‐element MIMO antenna. The proposed MIMO antenna configuration offers omnidirectional coverage with realized antenna gain greater than 6 dBi making the antenna more suitable for the vehicular environment. The prototype antenna and the MIMO array are fabricated and measurement results are presented. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results.
