English abstract:
Rising demand for vehicular communication and cooperative movement have led to an increase of vehicle mounted antennas. A carbon fiber reinforced polymer cavity is presented, that can be integrated into the vehicle chassis. The concealed cavity is large enough to house the anticipated antennas for present and future vehicular communication. Influence of the cavity onto antennas is demonstrated with calibrated gain measurements on the example of a 5.9 GHz monopole antenna for intelligent transportation systems. The cavities impact on antenna performance is found to be much smaller than influences of the car itself.
