Abstract :
This paper deals with the recent activities carried out by Renault on vehicle-mounted antenna measurements using spherical near-field techniques. Detailed validation results of antenna testing facility performances are presented, with special emphasis on FM, ISM 434 MHz and GPS bands. The last part is devoted to a study on coupling interaction phenomena between antennas and vehicle-body thanks to near field techniques.
