Cars play an important role in lots of people’s everyday life. However, traffic congestion and traffic incidents bring a lot of trouble to them.

The purpose of this report is to find out a design and fabrication method for the low cost multi-band antenna, which is based on the V2X concept for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The antenna will help to improve the traffic efficiency and safety.
