Abstract
An integrated 3×8 element phased array receiving antenna combined with a 4×8 element transmit antenna for 5.8 GHz DSRC Dedicated Short Range Communication has been built. The number of analog phaseshifters and antenna elements has been optimized to meet the specific requirements of the application and of the DSRC-standard. A sophisticated concept for the integration of analog beamformer, RF-chain, and array antenna has been developed to enable a design of the complete antenna system on a thin multilayer structure. The size of the whole antenna is 280mm × 400mm × 20mm.
