Abstract

The evolution of autonomous vehicles necessitates robust, high-speed, and low-latency wireless communication systems. This paper presents a novel high-gain Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) beamforming antenna system that concurrently supports Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) at 5.9 GHz and millimeter-wave (mm Wave) 5G communications at 28 GHz. The proposed design addresses challenges such as compactness, dual-band operation, beam steering capability, and port-to-port isolation within dynamic vehicular environments.
