ABSTRACT:
An automotive spoiler-type device to house a suite of sensors is described. Such sensors can include, for example, transmit antennas, receive antennas, video cameras, Infrared (IR) sensors, Electro-Optic (EO) sensors, air sensors, etc. Examples of the information transmitted and received include voice, data, navigation, and other communications functions, including, but not limited to, two-way radios, GPS, wireless Internet applications, etc. In one embodiment, the spoiler antenna installations are lower in profile and more compact than conventional vehicle antennas. In one embodiment, a top-load portion of a monopole antenna is used as a ground plane for a patch-type or cavity type antenna.
