Abstract :
A wideband modified squared monopole is presented for automotive applications. The monopole exhibits omnidirectional radiation patterns in the azimuth plane, and operates at DCS1800, WCDMA2100, LTE2800, WiMAX, WLAN and C2C bands. Due to its compact shape, it can be easily integrated inside a plastic cover with a shark-fin form factor on the car roof. The monopole also leaves some space available inside the plastic cover to place a GPS antenna, and another antenna for LTE700 and GSM900 bands.
