ANTENNA DESIGN FOR VEHICULAR OVERTAKING
Keywords:
VANET,Directional antennas,GainAbstract
In VANET, vehicles are equipped with antenna which can transmit and receive data between each other. The
existing system for vehicular communication is achieved by radar which involves the application of any type of directional
antennas. The proposed antenna focuses the radio frequency (RF) energy in one or two directions thereby increasing the
strength of the signal and distance covered in that direction. The design of rectangular patch antenna has been
investigated keeping in view the vital parameters such as frequency of operation, dielectric constant and bandwidth. In
this work, the simulation tools Advanced Design System (ADS) 2011.01 and CST microwave studio are used to study the
performance and gain of the rectangular micro strip patch antenna. The design and simulation of patch antenna is widely
used today, and our prominence in this work is on design of a 5.9 GHz rectangular micro strip patch antenna.
