Multiband conformal fin-shaped antenna with parasitic element for vehicle application

Abstract

A multiband conformal fin-shaped antenna with parasitic element for vehicle communication devices is presented. The proposed antenna is small, fin-shaped for vehicle communication application. This structure includes a irregular-shaped microstripe with parasitic element on fin-shaped ABS metrical, generating multi-bands of about 350, 800, 1800 and 2400MHz. The obtained bandwidth covers UHF, CDMA, GSM, DCS1800, PCS1900 and WIFI bands. Details of proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented and discuss.
