Abstract
A robust low‐profile aperture‐coupled quasi‐circularly polarized patch antenna was designed for intra‐vehicle communication in the unlicensed 2.45‐GHz ISM band (2.4–2.485 GHz). As dashboards offer a large platform for invisible integration, the antenna is implemented using materials compatible with the production process of dashboards. This also allows easy, invisible, and low‐cost integration inside a car's dashboard. A measured gain of 6.437 dBi and nearly circular polarization were obtained with the antenna covered by the different dashboard layers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
