Antenna Arrays and Automotive Applications

Abstract

The evolution of wireless communication systems requires new technologies to support better quality communications, new services, and applications. In recent years, the automotive wireless communication market has expanded greatly. Modern cars use different services: AM/FM radio, satellite radio (SDARS), cellular phone communications, digital audio broadcasting (DAB), remote keyless entry (RKE), tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) and remote start engine (RSE) systems, TV, ubiquitous intelligent transportations systems (ITS) which include, global positioning system (GPS) data, electronic toll collection (ETC), vehicle information and communication service (VICS), collision safety radar devices, etc.
