Abstract
[EN] In this letter, a three-dimensional antenna solution
for automotive applications is presented. The proposed solution
is formed by two independent antennas, perpendicularly placed
inside a plastic cover with a shark-fin shape. The antennas, designed
with low-cost materials, exhibit omnidirectional radiation
patterns in the azimuthal plane. The first antenna is a doubleshorted
monopole that provides service from 698 to 960 MHz (in
the LTE700, GSM850, and GSM900 bands), whereas the second antenna
is a drop-shaped monopole that operates from 1.7 to 2.7 GHz
(in the DCS1800, PCS1900, WCDMA2100, WLAN2400, LTE2600,
WiMAX2350, and Wi-Fi at 2.4-GHz bands), and from 5.1 to 6 GHz
(in theWi-Fi at 5 GHz and C2C bands). Results show a good matching
and radiation efficiency at all bands.This work was supported by Project SEESAW P.O.R. 2007-2013-bando 2009-Azione 1.1.2, the Spanish Ministry of Economics and competitiveness under Projects TEC2013-47360-C3-3-P and CSD2008-00068, and the Government of Ecuador under the SENESCYT.Navarro-Méndez, DV.; Carrera-Suárez, LF.; Sánchez-Escuderos, D.; Cabedo Fabrés, M.; Baquero Escudero, M.; Gallo, M.; Zarnberlan, D.
