Development of the Beam Control Array Antenna for Inter-Vehicle Communications
The inter-vehicle communication (IVC) is expected to reduce traffic accidents on ITS technology. Many committees are forming to discuss this system around the world. In several technologies, we are developing an extended DSRC system. This system uses 5.8GHz and is based on ARIB STD-T75 in Japan. In the IVC system, a vehicle can transmit information at random timing. However, signal collision occurs when there is many vehicles around the communication area that make it difficult to transmit information to other vehicles. Therefore to solve this problem, we are developing the beam control array antenna. The beam-controlled antenna will reduce the interference waves because the signals do not interfere with the receiver. As a result, the receiver is able to receive clearer signals. In this paper, we introduce the development of this antenna and the result of field experiment.
