Printable windscreen quad-band GSM antenna
conference contribution
posted on 2009-12-23, 16:55 authored by Chinwe Njoku, William WhittowWilliam Whittow, Chinthana PanagamuwaChinthana PanagamuwaThe design and simulation of a suitable GSM antenna
for integration with the rear windscreen of a car is presented in
this paper. A bent asymmetric dipole antenna was chosen to
minimise the surface area and thus cause minimal effect to the
aesthetics of the car as well as to the driver’s visibility. The
antenna has been simulated on a realistic three-layered
windscreen. Parasitics were added to the design to improve the
bandwidth at 900 and 1800MHz at both European and American
bands. The bent asymmetric dipole was advantageous compared
to a straight asymmetric dipole because i) the radiation pattern
was more omnidirectional and ii) the parasitics at each band
could be designed to work independently of each other.
