Summary:
Antennas for vehicles are experiencing great demand for miniaturization and integration from the point of space-savings and improved flexibility. The dipole antenna of a left-handed transmission line using metamaterial technology for miniaturization has been reported[1][2]. Since a metamaterial antenna has two or more resonance modes, its use is also expected for antenna integration. However, most verification of applicability of actual media have not been reported. In this report, we verified the adaptability of the UHF band antenna with a difficult miniaturization. The verified media are RKE (remote keyless entry) in the 300 MHz band and V2X wireless communication in the 700 MHz band. A metamaterial antenna covering both bands was designed, and its realization was verified by installing on a roof.
