Abstract

A multiple antenna placement system analysis for the improvement of efficiency and capacity for inter and intra vehicular communication is proposed in this article. Four antennas are placed in the four locations of the vehicular body which includes roof, side mirror, rear screen, and dashboard. The constituted antenna occu-pying the dimension of 40×38.5×0.2 mm³ on flexible substrate material of photo paper and the bending analysis of the model as per the conformal nature on vehicular body is also analyzed and presented in this work. The received power from each receiving antenna response with respect to the transmitter has been analyzed. The chan-nel capacity with respect to the antenna position for V2V communication is analyzed in different areas and in different environmental conditions.
