A novel ultra wideband antenna is here proposed for Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems. Two Vivaldi antennas are arranged in a back-to-back configuration (array of two Vivaldi antennas) to radiate both in front and rear car driving direction. By feeding the antennas with out-of-phase currents, the field radiation in the transversal direction is attenuated, so limiting the multipath effect due to buildings along the road. Since the antenna is mounted on a metallic car roof, its height has been split in half according to the Image Theorem.

Abstract
A novel ultra wideband antenna is here proposed for Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems. Two Vivaldi antennas are arranged in a back-to-back configuration (array of two Vivaldi antennas) to radiate both in front and rear car driving direction. By feeding the antennas with out-of-phase currents, the field radiation in the transversal direction is attenuated, so limiting the multipath effect due to buildings along the road. Since the antenna is mounted on a metallic car roof, its height has been split in half according to the Image Theorem.File in questo prodotto:
