Field assessment – Result
Expectation from this field test i) If the distance of each building is more than 20m, it would be less impact of multi‐path from building, but if it is getting more narrow, it should give more influence. ii) 5.9GHz radiation have a quite strong characteristic to go straight, so it covers almost all of 5 9GHz radiation have a quite strong characteristic to go straight so it covers almost all of driver's field of vision. So, it might be better to install antenna at the front of vehicles. Measured by Alps on Jun 12 & 13 ’13 (in Ann Arbor, MI)
