The pole antenna of vehicles for AM/FM radio broadcasting receptions has many probems, such as damageable mechanical system and noise etc. It is considered that noise is composed of the structural vibration noise and the air flow induced aerodynamic noise. Also we find out that the setting process of a printed on-glass automobile antenna has many difficulties. Recently, the above mentioned problems can be reduced by employing enhanced wiper antenna which utilizes the windshied wiper arm. The new system is a passive antenna. In this study, experiments for the characteristics of a wiper antenna by measuring the SWR, radiation pattern and received powe have been carried out. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the wiper antenna has better performance than any other antenna.

This paper summarizes the data of a monopole antenna with a sleeve structure that can be applied in various ways. Sleeve monopole antennas have broadband characteristics and are used for multi-frequency applications. The sleeve monopole antenna is composed of a vertical conductor, which is a radiator, and a sleeve having the same structure as a coaxial cable. The sleeve acts as a radiator and an open stub. The length of the sleeve should be 1/3~2/3 of the total length of the antenna. A monopole antenna having a sleeve structure is applicable to a vehicle wiper antenna. In addition, the case of applying this antenna to a broadband sleeve antenna using a loading coil, a broadband printed sleeve monopole antenna for an ISM band, a gap sleeve and a double sleeve, and a UWB planar monopole antenna using half cutting was summarized and analyzed in terms of structure and broadband.

This paper is a study of a prevention of power folding controller's thermal degradation. Power folding technology has been applied for many fields such as side rear vision mirror of vehicles, windshield wiper, antenna, power window. These controllers have been comprised with traditional DC moors, Switching electronic devices, and relays. But this methods have a limitation to overcome such problems of product reliability, endurance, noise margins. Therefore on this paper, to detect the movement of motor, sensing motor brush noise on a load sensing part has been used and controlling a precise RC timing control minimizes the thermal deterioration of motor. And using MOS FETs as a electronic switching device increases life-time and liability of control circuit. After testing such circuit and control method, repetition of operating time, cut-off time, wide operation voltage, power noise margin ware increased over eleven-fold.
