Abstract :
The results of a prototype novel planar antenna providing dual-band performance for road-vehicle applications are reported. Multilayer stacked patches provide simultaneous RHCP polarization for GPS and vertically polarized low elevation coverage for 5.9 GHz DSRC operations. The results show good correlation between measurement and theory.
