Global Automotive Smart Antenna Market: Region Analysis


The North America market is accounted for the highest revenue share in the global market owing to increasing demand for a smart antenna in vehicles in countries in the region. Europe is also contributing to the second highest share in the global market.

The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to register a lucrative growth in terms of revenue in the global market over the forecast period, due to increasing adoption of smart antenna enabled electric vehicles in countries such as India and China in the region.


Below are the active patents related to Automotive Smart Antenna Market.


Patent Number: US20170047962A1

V2x antenna systems

Abstract

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of V2X antenna systems. In an exemplary embodiment, a V2X antenna system comprises a coupler and a microcontroller. The coupler is operable for sensing radio frequency (RF) power and relaying the information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is operable for controlling RF switches to selectively activate either a transmit path (Tx-path) or a receive path (Rx-path) based on the information from the coupler. The microcontroller may also be operable for controlling one or more attenuators to control attenuation of signals.

Patent Number: US10136434B2

Method and apparatus for use with a radio distributed antenna system having an ultra-wideband control channel

Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a network element of a distributed antenna system, a reference signal, an ultra-wideband control channel and a first modulated signal at a first carrier frequency, the first modulated signal including first communications data provided by a base station and directed to a mobile communication device. The instructions in the ultra-wideband control channel direct the network element of the distributed antenna system to convert the first modulated signal at the first carrier frequency to the first modulated signal in a first spectral segment. The reference signal is received at an in-band frequency relative to the control channel. Other embodiments are disclosed.
