11.2 Telematics System
Antenna for telephone
The communication method of telephone supports LTE in addition to 3G.
High speed and large volume communication is realized by using Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) technology that
transfers information using multiple antennas for both sending and receiving.
Shark fin antenna on the roof is set as the main antenna and the antenna in the instrument panel (behind the meters) is
set as the sub-antenna as multiple antennas are required to support LTE.
By placing two antennas at front and rear of the vehicle (outside the vehicle and inside the cabin), it can still
communicate even when one of the antennas are damaged at the time of collision.
