Smart Conformal Antenna – A Technical Challenge

With emerging trends of the future towards conformal design of automotive antennas, there are global trends in communication technologies that must be incorporated into all coming telematics solutions. These technologies are facing two major requirements: communication technologies use higher frequencies and bandwidth and more technologies need to be supported simultaneously.
