Automotive Antenna Design and Applications (Hardcover)

The steady evolution of wireless communication technologies continues to pave the way for the implementation of innovative services and devices in modern vehicles. These include analog and digital audio broadcasting radio, satellite radio, GPS, cell phones, and short range communication devices. Such applications require the use multiple antennas operating in different frequency ranges.

Automotive Antenna Design and Applications thoroughly examines traditional and new advanced automotive antennas, including the principles, designs, and techniques used to reduce antenna dimensions without significant degradation of communication quality. The contents of this book are based on cutting-edge data collected from numerous technical papers, patents, and patent applications. It presents an overview of many commercially available automotive antennas and covers features that have become standard in automotive applications, such as printed-on car glass antennas, reduced-size helical antennas, multiband compact, printed-on dielectric and patch designs in a single package.

Includes simulation examples of antenna parameters that significantly speed up the design process using software packages such as FEKO, NEC, IE3D, and Genesys

Highlighting the practical aspects of antenna design, the authors present passive and active designs and describe the entire design process, including antenna simulation, prototype sample fabrication, and laboratory test measurements. The book also covers the production adjustments that can result from the demands of the real car environment. The presentation of numerous examples of passive and active automotive antennas greatly enhances this reference’s value to professionals, students, and anyone else working in the ever-evolving field of antenna design and application.

無線通訊技術的穩定演進繼續為現代車輛中創新服務和設備的實施鋪平道路。這些包括模擬和數字音頻廣播收音機、衛星收音機、GPS、手機和短距離通信設備。這些應用需要使用在不同頻率範圍內運作的多個天線。

《汽車天線設計與應用》全面探討了傳統和新型先進汽車天線，包括用於減小天線尺寸而不會明顯降低通信質量的原理、設計和技術。本書的內容基於從眾多技術論文、專利和專利申請中收集的尖端數據。它概述了許多商業上可用的汽車天線，並介紹了在汽車應用中已成為標準的功能，例如印刷在車窗上的天線、縮小尺寸的螺旋天線、多頻段緊湊型、印刷在介電層和貼片設計的單一封裝。

本書還包括使用FEKO、NEC、IE3D和Genesys等軟件包進行天線參數模擬的示例，顯著加快設計過程。

通過突出天線設計的實際方面，作者介紹了被動和主動設計，並描述了整個設計過程，包括天線模擬、原型樣品製作和實驗室測試測量。本書還涵蓋了由於實際汽車環境的需求而可能產生的生產調整。大量示例的被動和主動汽車天線的呈現極大增強了這本參考書對專業人士、學生和任何在不斷發展的天線設計和應用領域工作的人的價值。
