Abstract :
A vehicle diversity antenna system comprising a single-fed element together with a loaded parasitic element is described. Different termination loads on the parasitic element give rise to variations in the radiation patterns that are comparable with a four-element diversity system. There was good agreement between measured parameters and simulations.
