Abstract:

The proposed paper presents a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna design for automotive applications that require two specifically designed elements: a low-profile UWB antenna and compact UWB monopole for sub-6 GHz network connectivity and Vehicle-to-Everything Vehicle communications over the frequency range. The suggested MIMO systems can be installed in a low profile or roof-of-the-vehicle container on top of the car. A two-element monopole MIMO system with the proper physical dimensions can work effectively throughout the entire range. Findings include measurements almost identical to those from the simulation and findings from putting the suggested antenna prototype on the top of an automobile. In light of the findings, VSWR, combined radiation patterns, ECC, DG, and passive isolation between elements are investigated.
