Design and Optimisation of Compact Wideband Yagi-Uda Antenna for V2V Communication
摘要
This paper presents a novel approach to designing and optimising a compact wideband Yagi-Uda antenna tailored for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems in the fifth-generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency range. Utilising multi-objective optimisation techniques, a unique microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna design is proposed to address the challenges of high gain and broad bandwidth required for V2V communication. The antenna offers a 20% broad impedance bandwidth (IBW) ranging from 4 to 6 GHz, with a peak gain observed at 10.5 dBi in 5.075 GHz. Moreover, the proposed antenna design achieves significant improvements, including a 50% increase in gain and reduced radiation compared to reference antennas. Integration of the antenna into the vehicle’s aero fin shark component enables seamless communication for sharing speed, location, and traffic alerts among vehicles. The proposed antenna design aims to mitigate the adverse effects of high radiation on pregnant women and children, contributing to safer and more efficient V2V communication systems.
