DUAL BROADBAND ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES

The invention refers to a dual broadband and multiband antenna system of reduced dimension, preferably to be used as external antenna for vehicles. The antenna system comprising first and second radiating elements and a flat ground plane in common for the two radiating elements. The two radiating elements are placed above the ground plane, and wherein each radiating element is folded to form vertical and horizontal surfaces. The two vertical surfaces are orthogonal to the ground plane and parallel to each other, and the horizontal surfaces are coplanar between them and parallel to the ground plane. Two parasitic elements are connected with the ground plane, and are parallel or coplanar with the horizontal surfaces, and extend partially around respectively the first and second radiating elements. The antenna system of the invention is preferably adapted to operate on the LTE communication network, and to provide 5G communication services.
