[0110]

[0111] Referring to FIG. 21, the spacing between In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA) can be formed corresponding to the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of two adjacent antenna assemblies. The larger value between the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A1) and the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the second antenna assembly (A2) can be referred to as the reference distance (Dx). With respect to the first antenna assembly (A1), the second antenna assembly (A2) can be located between a certain distance (Da, see FIG. 18) and the reference distance (Dx).

[0112]

[0113] Referring to FIG. 22, the second antenna assembly (A2) and the third antenna assembly (A3) may be placed in the area (X3) between the area (X2) where the first antenna assembly (A1) is placed and the area where placement is not possible (X).

The gap (D3') between the area (X2) and the second antenna assembly (A2), and the gap (D3') between the third antenna assembly (A3) and the area where placement is not possible (X3) may be 75 mm.

[0114]

[0115] Referring to FIG. 23, in-glass antenna assemblies (IA) and on-glass antenna assemblies (OA) can be placed in a placement area (E). On-glass antenna assemblies (OA) can be placed on glass (10).

[0116] The spacing between the On-Glass antenna assemblies (OA) may be equal. In the thickness direction of the glass (10), the On-Glass antenna assemblies (OA) may not overlap with the In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA). The On-Glass antenna assemblies (OA) and the In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA) may be arranged alternately.

[0117] The first antenna assembly (A11) may be positioned between the first antenna assembly (A1) and the second antenna assembly (A2). For example, the first antenna assembly (A11) may be a WIFI antenna.

[0118] The second antenna assembly (A12) may be positioned between the second antenna assembly (A2) and the third antenna assembly (A3). For example, the second antenna assembly (A12) may be a V2X antenna.

[0119] The third antenna assembly (A13) may be spaced apart from the second antenna assembly (A12) with the third antenna assembly (A3) in between. For example, the third antenna assembly (A13) may be a WIFI antenna.

[0120] The gap (D11) between the first antenna assembly (A11) and the second antenna assembly (A12) and the gap (D12) between the second antenna assembly (A12) and the third antenna assembly (A13) may be equal to each other.

[0123] The smaller value between half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A1) and half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A11) can be called the first reference distance (Dm). For example, half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A1) may be 128.85 mm, and half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A11) may be 62.5 mm. The first reference distance (Dm) may be 62.5 mm.

[0124] The smaller value between half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the second antenna assembly (A2) and half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A11) can be called the second reference distance (Dn). For example, half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the second antenna assembly (A2) may be 243.1 mm, and half the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency of the first antenna assembly (A11) may be 62.5 mm. The second reference distance (Dn) may be 62.5 mm.

[0125] The first antenna assembly (A11) may be positioned between a position spaced apart by a first reference distance (Dm) from the first antenna assembly (A1) toward the second antenna assembly (A2) and a position spaced apart by a second reference distance (Dn) from the second antenna assembly (A2) toward the first antenna assembly (A1). For example, the distance (D21) between the first antenna assembly (A11) and the first antenna assembly (A1) may be 67.5 mm, and the distance (D22) between the first antenna assembly (A11) and the second antenna assembly (A2) may be 110 mm.

[0126] The spacing between the radiator of the first antenna assembly (A11) and the radiator of the first antenna assembly (A1) or the radiator of the second antenna assembly (A2) may be a spacing for minimum isolation. The S21 (Scattering Parameter 21) value of the first antenna assembly (A1) and the first antenna assembly (A11) may be lower than a threshold across the entire operating frequency band. For example, the threshold may be -15 dB or -10 dB or lower. The S21 (Scattering Parameter 21) value of the second antenna assembly (A2) and the first antenna assembly (A11) may be lower than a threshold across the entire operating frequency band. For example, the threshold may be -15 dB or -10 dB or lower. For example, the distance (D23) between the radiator of the first antenna assembly (A11) and the radiator of the first antenna assembly (A1) may be 20 mm, and the distance (D24) between the radiator of the first antenna assembly (A11) and the radiator of the second antenna assembly (A2) may be 34 mm. Accordingly, signal interference between the antenna assemblies (A) may be reduced to a certain level or lower.

A fourth antenna assembly (A14) and a fifth antenna assembly (A15) may be placed between a fourth antenna assembly (A4) and a fifth antenna assembly (A5).

[0129] For example, the distance (D31) between the fourth antenna assembly (A4) and the fourth antenna assembly (A14) may be 110 mm. The distance (D32) between the fourth antenna assembly (A14) and the fifth antenna assembly (A15) may be 70 mm. The distance (D33) between the fifth antenna assembly (A15) and the fifth antenna assembly (A5) may be 108 mm.

[0130] The spacing between the antenna assemblies (A4, A14, A15, A5) may be a spacing for minimum isolation.

[0131] For example, the distance (D34) between the radiator of the fourth antenna assembly (A4) and the radiator of the fourth antenna assembly (A14) may be 71 mm. The distance (D35) between the radiator of the fourth antenna assembly (A14) and the radiator of the fifth antenna assembly (A15) may be 45 mm. The distance (D36) between the radiator of the fifth antenna assembly (A15) and the radiator of the fifth antenna assembly (A5) may be 80.5 mm.

[0132] Meanwhile, if the operating frequency band of a specific On-Glass antenna assembly (OA) overlaps (partially) with the operating frequency band of specific In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA), the specific On-Glass antenna assembly (OA) may not be placed between the specific In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA). Alternatively, if a minimum isolation condition is satisfied, the specific On-Glass antenna assembly (OA) may be placed between the specific In-Glass antenna assemblies (IA).
