Fin Type Antenna (LPA)
Features
Fin type antennas can support analog radios, digital radios, satellite systems such as GPS, and mobile communication systems with all antennas integrated in one, without affecting car body design.
Early fin type antennas could not combine radio with other media; however, they could be composite with multi-media during this period.
The color of antenna can be adjusted to match that of car body.
Mounting Position
In-Spoiler Type Antenna
Features
The antennas do not affect car design. They can be composite, covering multiple media in addition to radio.
Since a spoiler and an antenna are integrated and offered as one module, it is possible to reduce customers' man-hours used in developing and assembling products.
Mounting Position
In-Dash Type Antenna
Features
The antennas were developed on the rising demand of integration of antenna for applications, including navigation, telematics and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
They can be composite, covering multi-media, including satellite systems (e.g. GPS), mobile communication systems, DSRC (e.g. ETC).
