Abstract

Antennas suitable for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are overseen. The antennas serve a narrow-band high performance unlicensed 5.470-5.725 GHz Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) deployed over a full-duplex bi-directional optical link. The system is composed of 3-RFports aimed to support Adaptive Antenna System (AAS), Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Sectorization, for communications of about 70 ~ 100 Mbps over micro-cells along highways to moving vehicles incorporating a Ultra Wide Band (UWB) network of 480 Mbps. A design study has been carried out to assess the most cost-effective while efficient antenna units. The effects among antennas seen as interferers are also considered.
