The arrival of fifth-generation mobile networks has given rise to several services such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, known as the Internet of Vehicles. This refers to all the technologies, protocols, and systems that enable the exchange of information between vehicles. This research work presents the design of a high-performance multiband antenna operating in the X and Ku bands (12 GHz, 15 GHz, and 16 GHz bands) and intended for in-vehicle Internet applications. The design of this antenna involves three steps. The optimal length and width (Ls × Ws) of the final step are 23.5 × 8.5 mm. The designed antenna achieves a maximum gain of 4.85 at a frequency of 15.8 GHz, a bandwidth of 1.1 GHz, and a radiation efficiency of 99%.
