Abstract

This paper presents the development of computer models for the analysis of on-glass conformal automobile antennas. The numerical models used are the method of moments (MoM) and the uniform geometric theory of diffraction (UTD). Models were developed to analyze antennas for low-frequency applications (AM), antennas on a resonant vehicle structure (FM), and high-frequency applications (cellular, Global Positioning System (GPS), radar). Calculation results were verified using measurements
