A Compact Series Array for Short Range Communication
Stefano Maddio, Giuseppe Pelosi, Monica Righini, Stefano Selleri · Florence Research (University of Florence) · 2018
We present a linearly polarized series-array antenna, suitable for dedicated short range communications, optimized for operation in C-band. The array is printed on a commercial substrate, and it is optimized for compactness. Experimental validations confirm a maximum gain of 8 dB at 5.8 GHz and 5 dB at 5.9 GHz, enabling both Electronic Toll Collection and low-latency WiFi operation for vehicular communications, i.e. the novel 802.11p standard.
