Abstract :
A reflection current control type adaptive antenna was applied to receive high quality FM broadcasting at the running car. The CMA was used as the adaptable beamforming scheme and the direct-search-method was used as the heuristics of the reactance value. This paper presents the experimental production of the antenna and the field test result.
