    摘要: An antenna assembly operating in the AM/FM, 3G and 4G cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, satellite and 5G bands. The assembly provides a wide bandwidth, orientation dependent, directional antenna via volumetric radiating elements that conformal to exterior surface(s) of a vehicle such as a passenger car. The volumetric antenna elements may be further controlled by embedded components and/or surrounded by controllable ground plane elements. In one application, the antenna may be used to detect a direction of approach by person to, for example, operate only certain door locks.

    摘要: A low profile, conformal antenna assembly provides wide bandwidth, orientation dependent and directional operation via volumetric radiating elements that are diposed over a cavity. The volumetric antenna elements may be further controlled by embedded inductive or capacitive components and/or surrounded by frequency-selective components. An optional AM/FM radiating structure is provided by a conductive wire helix disposed within the cavity. The antenna assembly may be integrated with system and control, conversion, amplification and/or processing electronics in a single enclosure or tightly coupled enclosure space. Integrating the antenna subassembly with an electronics subassembly in the same enclosure eliminates the requirement for discrete RF signal connections reduces associated costs, and avoids signal losses in the connections to multiple vehicle systems. The antenna can be mounted to the inside surface of glass in a vehicle.

    摘要: A low profile, planar, wide band (e.g., 600 MHz to 5 GHZ) antenna assembly consisting of four subarrays, each subarray consisting of a set of planar elements connected in a dipole. The elements may be disposed on a first layer or surface of a non-conductive substrate such as a printed circuit board. A second set of subarrays may also comprise planar elements disposed on a second layer of the substrate and operates as a GPS antenna. The elements on the second layer overlap somewhat with the elements on the first layer to provide a partial ground plane for the elements on the first later. A beamforming circuit may be coupled to the sub-arrays, depending on configuration. The assembly may be placed on a windshield or rear window of a vehicle, such as a passenger car near the roof.
