The Effects of Windshield and Car Body on the Hidden Automotive Antenna

In this thesis, we discuss the subject into four parts. Firstly, we introduce the telematics for automotive. Secondary, we study the effects of locations of the hidden antenna. Thirdly, we discuss the effects of the windshield to the hidden antenna as we place the antenna on the windshield, then, the window film is attached to the windshield. We conduct implementation and measurement to analyze the effect of the film to the antenna. Finally, we find that the antenna gain is degraded in certain receiving angle due to the car body as we place the antenna at the corner of the windshield. In order to improve this, we design an EBG structure and place it between the antenna and the car body. The simulation result indicates that the EBG structure not only improves the gain in certain receiving angles but also reduces the induced current intensity on the car body.
