Summary:
In this paper an antenna array is designed for the use of road-side units (RSU) in the dedicated short range communications (DSRC). The array employs four elements of Yagi type antennas printed on FR4 substrates to create a narrow beam width and the beam-scanning capability. To accelerate the design procedure and optimize the performance, the antenna is designed using a program based on an implementation of a genetic algorithm in conjunction with a commercial software to auto-adjust the geometric parameters of the antenna element. Simulated and measurement results agree very well and show distinguished antenna performances.
