Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed direction-of arrival (DoA) estimation of incoming signals for V2X applications in 802. 11p frequency band, based on recording of received signal strength (RSS) at electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna's output port. The motivation of the work was to prove that ESPAR antenna used to increase connectivity and security in V2X communication can be also used for DoA estimation. The numerical simulation results show that for every proposed radiation pattern we can obtain acceptable DoA estimation results, even with radiation pattern without strong maximum and deep minimum.
