Abstract

The invention uses a modified Yagi-Uda antenna as a directional antenna for remote entry applications for transportation vehicles. To reduce the area that the antenna requires for packaging in a vehicle headliner, the antenna employs a shared reflector for plural reception zones on opposite sides of the vehicle. Since the antenna is packaged close to body sheet metal, a folded dipole is used as the antenna feed element to increase input impedance and simplify impedance matching with the receiver.
