This paper describes L‐band active receiving antenna for the automotive applications (DAB radio). The antenna is based on a printed dipole in 1452‐1492 MHz frequency range and has a low noise amplifier. Two different versions of the antenna are presented: one for “on‐vehicle” application (roof or trunk) and the second one for “in‐vehicle” application (glass window). Antenna directionality is measured for on‐vehicle and in‐vehicle antenna locations. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
