Abstract

An integrated patch antenna into a car structure operating in the 5.8 GHz frequency band has been studied numerically and experimentally in this paper. The results show that there is a good agreement between simulation and measurement. Then, the analysis of a vehicle to vehicle communication shows that the 5 GHz propagation is affected by multipath propagation. Our current work aims at establishing communications in the 5 GHz band and analyzing the performances of the link using the IEEE 802.11a protocol between two vehicles moving on roads.
