Abstract
Among the emerging wireless technologies, C2C communication has received considerable attention in the world because this technology promises to improve road safety and travel comfort. In this paper we present two C2C antennas that can be easily integrated into a conventional rooftop antenna module that includes also an element for GSM and UMTS services. The C2C antennas are a printed monopole and short circuited patch working at the TM01 mode. Antenna characteristics are investigated by S parameters and pattern measurements.
