Antenna assembly

摘要

A vehicle component having a housing made of non-metallic material and having at least one surface made of metallic material is provided, and an antenna assembly is disposed in the vehicle component. The antenna assembly incudes a high-gain film-type antenna element having an input for receiving a wireless signal, an output, and a ground portion is disposed on said non-metallic portion of the housing of said vehicle component. The antenna assembly also includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) and a feeding structure including a coaxial cable and a ground wire. The coaxial cable establishes electrical communication between the antenna element and the LNA, and the ground wire establishes an electrical connection between the ground portion of the antenna element and the metallic surface of the vehicle component.
