Evaluate antenna performance using a virtual-drive test in WinProp. Evaluate different car antenna configurations regarding
receiving power and MIMO throughput.
Define the topography, building, cars, test route and air interface (for example, LTE).
Superimpose three-dimensional car antenna patterns (calculated with Feko) and analyze the radio waves impinging on the car antenna
along the test route as well as possible antenna configurations based on performance
indicators.
The following configurations are supported:
Car-to-car communication
Car-to-infrastructure communication
Radar channel (collision avoidance)

(bottom).
