Types of Car Antennas

Currently, there are many types of car antennas on the market with diverse designs and functions. Here are some common types:

1. Classification by Design

• Mast Antennas: This is the traditional type of antenna, often bolted to the roof of the car. The advantages of this type are good signal reception and low cost. However, mast antennas can be obstructive when the car enters a low-ceiling parking garage.
• Shark Fin Antennas: This type of antenna has a modern, compact design and is usually mounted on the rear roof of the car. The advantage of shark fin antennas is their high aesthetics and minimal obstruction when moving.
• Short Mast Antennas: This type of antenna has a similar design to the mast antenna but is shorter, often used for sports cars.

2. Classification by Function

• Radio Antennas: Dedicated to receiving AM/FM radio waves.
• GPS Antennas: Used to receive GPS signals, supporting navigation.
• Integrated Antennas: Combine multiple functions in one antenna, such as receiving radio waves, GPS, GSM, etc.
