Abstract :
A new type of on-glass vehicular antenna designed for application in the FM band is introduced and simulated radiation patterns are presented. Attention is paid to the car structure on which the antenna is mounted and an investigation is carried out into the dominant structural features of the vehicle body. The simulated patterns are compared with measurements
