In this paper, circularly polarization patch array antenna of RSE(Road-side Equipment) base station for DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) of ITS(Intelligent Transport System) is proposed. The antenna of RSE base station for DSRC is designed to operate circularly polarization to receive reflected signal from multiplex path effectively. The proposed antenna consisted of microstrip patch and feed line, the slit is inserted in the proximity of the slot of feed structure to generate circularly polarization. The $2{\times}2$ array structure is designed to satisfying gain that DSRC RSE base station antenna required. Measured impedance bandwidth and axial-ratio bandwidth are satisfied by all DSRC band of 5.795~5.855 GHz. Vertical and horizontal HPBW of the proposed antenna are both about 43 degrees, it showed gain characteristic of about 11.21 dBi.

The installation of wireless communication system for various services of ITS at 5.8 GHz generates mutual interference. The representative example, the sharing of frequency between DSRC system and ETC system is a cause of communication error or disturbance both sides or one side owing to mutual interference. As a solution, a Shield Plate, Antenna Directionality, Power Control is proposed, but these are not perfect solution, because a RSU doesn't have the information of position of interferer. This paper applies an adaptive array antenna which makes a gain for desired users, makes a null for interferer, to up-link, down-link of DSRC and ETC system. The analysis of BER performance shows the effect of reduced interference about 20 dB.

As the development and distribution of the intelligent transport system is spreading recently and some of the services are commercialized through a pilot project, interest in DSRC with high utilization is increasing and antennas for roadside and on board equipment are being studied. A single patch was used for a vehicle antenna due to the requests of miniaturization of size, but there was performance degradation in most cases due to miniaturization. In addition, some methods to improve performance have been used in the antennas that were previously researched using the arrays, but they have the disadvantages of bulkiness in size of the antennas when using the arrays. Therefore, in this paper, the CPW fed microstrip patch antenna with the simple structure of being compact and easy to produce, which can be used in the OBU of DSRC, was designed.

In this paper, a dual-polarized multi-band multi-layer antenna for a vehicle, which operates in the GPS, bluetooth, and DSRC bands, was implemented. The antenna was designed as a multi-layer structure, and a FR4-epoxy substrate with =4.4 and =1.6mm was used. GPS and DSRC antennas have circular polarized characteristics, and a single probe feeding method was applied. Simulated results by Ansys HFSS v11 was compared with the measured ones. The size of the optimally designed antenna is $67mm{\times}67mm{\times}4.8mm$, -10dB bandwidth of the anatenna was measured to be 820MHz, 127MHz, and 862MHz in each band, and 3dB AR bandwidth of the antenna was simulated to be 19MHz and 110MHz in GPS and DSRC bands. The results confirmed that suggested system satisfies the system requirements.

In this paper, microstrip array antenna is proposed for the wireless communication of DSRC(dedicated short range communication) scheme at 5.8GHz, which works as a part of the Navigation terminal. The microstrip patches minimized from a rectangular microstrip antenna with a half wavelength are arrayed to be mounted on the narrow and long area in the top side of the navigation terminal. Besides, the array antenna can limit its own beamwidth to the driving lane and has better directivity. It is simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The prototype fabricated has a volume of $18{\times}40{\times}0.8mm^3$. From the measurement, it has circular polarization performance of 4dB axial ratio over 40MHz frequency band. In addition, antenna gain of 6.2dBi and 3dB beamwidth of $70^{\circ}$ at cross section of driving lane have been achieved.

This paper describes the design of RF link between RSE and OBU of ETCS and the analysis of the antenna beam pattern to get a proper communication area in the cross direction and traveling direction of lanes. This stage should be performed prior to determination of system requirements of ITS service based on active DSRC. This study is important and fundamental technical analysis to design and implement base station of ETCS.

A dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) traffic information system is a detection system for a section of road using communication between roadside equipment and on-board High-Pass units to collect road traffic information and provide reliable traffic information to drivers. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport announced that a DSRC system must be supported to pass the performance evaluation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS), and the performance evaluation for DSRC systems installed in expressways and national highways is started. Currently, DSRC traffic information systems are only managed for maintenance and functional-monitoring purposes, which means that detailed criteria for the operation of a DSRC traffic information system, such as communication range, the direction of the antenna, and the power of the radio wave, etc., need to be established. In this paper, the criteria of the performance evaluation of a DSRC traffic information system are presented for different road types and road environments. The proposed performance evaluation criteria included the communication range and communication power of roadside equipment. In addition, installation criteria, such as the direction of the antenna, and the height and angle of the installed system, are presented for different road types and road environments. The criteria presented were evaluated for DSRC roadside equipment and documented to improve system maintenance and quality control of the communication system.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a low side lobe antenna for RSE base station of the ETCS which is one of the ITS services. The antenna is installed on the gantry of road side and provides the wireless communication lint between vehicles and RSE. The required characteristics of ETCS base station antenna are low sidelobe and specific beam pattern by the road and install environment and installed place of OBU. To minimize the affects of multipath signal by reflection, Circular polarization is required. To get low sidelobe of antenna, array configuration and weighting factor by Taylor distribution in radiator elements are applied. The measured results of fabricated antenna are as follows; return loss of 130MHz by -10dB, an axial ratio of 2.6dB, and a gain of 17dBi. It is found that the measured beam patterns are similar to design results.

This paper treats performance analysis and improvement of DSRC physical layer which is discussed for standardization at the ISO TC-204 WG-15. DSRC is a short range wireless communication for which distance is less than 100m between RSU and O BE, since DSRC requires cheap and simple modulation technique, ASK is being developed as standard modulation system among PSK, FSK and ASK in our country. This paper analyzes the performance of DSRC physical layer system which is at the first stage of development under Rician fading channel, more sepcifically, the validity of the system and the performance limitations are shown. Both equalizer and antenna diversity techniques are simulated to improve the ASK system performance.
