Without human involvement, autonomous vehicles have the potential to reduce more than 85 % of traffic accidents caused by human errors. Autonomous vehicles are a rising technology to provide a safe and efficient transportation experience. Vehicular communication systems are important in autonomous vehicles to share road and surrounding environment conditions wirelessly. With the exponential increase of traffic data, conventional wireless technologies in microwave band preliminary show their incompetence because of limited bandwidth. More specifically, microwave technologies cannot support high data sharing because of limited bandwidth. On the other hand, the millimeter-wave spectrum is still underutilized and can support multi-gigabit data sharing. Using a millimeter-wave spectrum, an autonomous vehicle can share multi-gigabit data about the surrounding environment and recognize objects using clouds in real-time. In this way, autonomous vehicles can determine the optimal driving strategy. Antenna being an important component of autonomous vehicles is responsible for sharing the recorded and sensed data with the cloud. In fact, the data rate of the channel depends on the bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, in this project, an ultra-wideband millimeter-wave antenna array will be designed to ensure high gain and channel capacity. The main objectives of this project are as follows:
1. To design a millimeter-wave Antenna array centered at 28 GHz.
2. To design a millimeter-wave MIMO Antenna array to ensure pattern diversity.
