Abstract :
This paper proposes a conformal type reactively steered antenna array composed of ring elements. The antenna arrays can be mounted on the front window without interrupting the driver´s view. This paper is organized as follows. The configuration of the proposed antenna array and its theoretical characteristics are shown. The performance of the array based on simulation results is also shown. Finally, a conclusion is presented
