Abstract
The study of the SSA has shown much promise for use in an automobile environment; however, the addition of the necessary switch technology adds a new level of complexity to existing antenna systems. Some of the benefits of the SSA can be obtained with existing systems by using the SSA concept to design a fixed antenna. This work uses the principles of self-structuring antennas to design a fixed automotive backlight antenna. A genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized in this design, with a cost function optimizing both VSWR and gain
