Abstract

The disclosure relates to directing electromagnetic waves in vehicle communications. A vehicle may comprise a conductive housing surrounding an antenna and defining an aperture at least equal to the wavelength of signals radiated by the antenna. A controller may be configured to orient the conductive housing to direct the aperture at a direction of travel to guide electromagnetic radiation from the antenna. The controller may orient the conductive housing in response to receiving a cooperative adaptive cruise control signal from an established platoon of vehicles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Background technique [0002] Many vehicles are equipped with systems for communicating with other vehicles or objects in the vicinity. These systems transmit information related to vehicle speed, direction or other important parameters. An omni-directional antenna may allow indeterminate communication with all other vehicles and objects in the vicinity. Communication with other vehicles or objects may become unavailable when too many vehicles are nearby attempting to communicate. Contents of the invention [0003] A vehicle may include a conductive housing surrounding an antenna and defining an aperture having a size at least equal to a wavelength of a signal radiated by the antenna. The controller may be configured to orient the conductive housing to point the aperture in a direction opposite to the preceding vehicle, and after relaying the signal, orient the conductive housing ...
