Abstract :
A novel low-profile inverted-F film antenna design for in-car DAB Band III (170-240 MHz) applications is presented. This antenna is attached on the front windshield of the car along the edge of the A-pillar, which occupies an area of only 238(L)×27(W)mm2 to reduce sight blockages. Good antenna performance has been obtained.
