Design of Glass-based Antenna for Effective Vehicular Communication

The design of smart antennas plays a vital role in modern vehicular communication. This growing technology gives a wide scope for wideband antennas in this sector. A proper antenna development that serves the purpose of establishing the best communication is crucial as the advancement in vehicular communication shows a prominent improvement in vehicle-to-vehicle communication. This research study proposes a modest communicative antenna that can be used in vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The antenna design is suitable for mounting on vehicles because the main substrate considered here is glass. The 5G mid-band frequency range is being opted for this v2v transmission and reception. To ascertain the performance of the patch, slots are added to the design. The required return loss and dual polarization are achieved by adding center punctures and corner slices to the radiating element respectively. Also for increasing the antenna performance, defective ground structures have been imparted in the design. The patch dimensions selected as 27mm x 20mm with an impedance match of son and the designed antenna performance is good.
