Performance evaluation of C2C antennas on car body

This paper presents measurements of two low-cost C2C (Car-to-Car) antennas integrated within a car roof-top module. A GPS patch and a LTE element are also included in the antenna. The integration of these functionalities in a limited space made the design of the antennas particularly challenging. The achieved structure is low profile and can be easily installed in any car roof maintaining its aesthetics. The measurements, performed with the use of the Calearo NF site provided by Satimo, have been carried out by mounting the structure on a car roof. The main results are here presented.
