Abstract :
This paper evaluates single and multiple antenna systems in realistic car-to-car communication channels. With a three-dimensional ray-tracing simulation tool the narrow-band channel characteristics are determined for various antenna positions and numbers of antennas. The results clearly show the advantage of multiple antenna systems. Suitable antenna positions are determined that allow for optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio and the channel capacity.
