This paper describes three different antenna systems for mobile vehicle applications. The antennas are either patches or derivatives in all cases. The first is a dual-band telephone antenna with a low profile and wide bandwidth. Operating at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, with a VSWR of better than 1.7, it is a hybrid construction combining a monopole with a top-loading patch shorted to the ground-plane. Extra-shorted pins provide the upper frequency band coverage. It provides monopole radiation characteristics and can be hidden under a plastic panel or mounted on the vehicle roof. The second is a microstrip patch antenna integrated into a laminated glass windscreen for a vehicle. It is fed using a coplanar waveguide feed printed on the innermost layer of the glass, avoiding the need for a contacting feed within the laminate. The patch and ground plane are meshed for manufacturing in the glass to avoid distorting the heat profile when the glass is shaped and laminated. The patch is easily fed from inside the vehicle and is potentially a very low cost design. The final antenna discussed is a dual-band patch antenna specifically designed for the Globalstar satellite telephone system at 1.6 GHz and 2.45 GHz. It also covers the Iridium band at 1.6 GHz. A single circularly polarised patch is used. Dual-band operation results from truncating the corners of the square patch and judiciously placed slots to achieve a band spacing of 1.5.
