Abstract
The modelling of an automotive antenna printed on a glass window is described.
Simulations are compared with measurements to verify the model at 100 MHz. Simulations
include the entire external car body generated from mechanical CAD data and transformed into
an appropriate electromagnetic model. The feed position, element design and antenna orientation
for optimum gain are investigated. Surface current distributions over the vehicle are illustrated for
different antenna positions. Simulated and measured radiation patterns are acceptable for prototype
antenna design.
