Conformal antenna, flexible, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), vehicular communication摘要
A novel fractal shaped antenna on transparent material is communicated in this article. The proposed antenna is flexible and conformal on the automotive surface to serve at vehicular communication applications. Polyvinyl chloride substrate material of ɛr=3 and loss tangent 0.02 is used in the antenna design with overall dimension of 55 x 40 x 3 mm. The virtual placement of the antenna on vehicular surface is simulated with the combination of ANSYS HFSS and Savant tools. Far-field radiation and the Electric-field distribution with respect to the antenna placement on vehicular structure is analyzed and presented in this work. The prototyped antenna measurements are in good agreement with the simulation.
