The embodiments herein provide a miniaturized multifunction ultra-wideband antenna comprising an omnidirectional radiator and unidirectional radiator. The planar Square Monopole Antenna (SMA) with a maximum dimension of λg/5 provides a 10:1 ultra-wide bandwidth with an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The coplanar waveguide technology is the technology incorporated along with Heptagonal Microstrip Patch Antenna (HMPA) placed above a Full Ground Plane (FGP) to achieve unidirectional radiation pattern. The Heptagonal Microstrip Patch Antenna (HMPA) backed with the Pi shaped Parasitic Patch (PSPP) is electromagnetically coupled to the Full Ground Plane (FGP) through the Shorting Pins (SP). Good isolation is achieved through the orthogonal arrangement segregated with the Square Slot (SS) and Inverted L shaped slot (ILSS). The stacked quasi TEM structure backed with a Partial Ground Plane (PGP) are configured on a single platform providing unidirectional and omnidirectional radiation pattern for short-range sensing and indoor communications.

An antenna system mounted in a vehicle, according to the present invention, comprises: a radiator for transferring, through an upper opening, a signal which is applied through a lower opening; a coupling patch disposed on an upper substrate so as to be spaced apart from the upper opening by a predetermined interval so as to enable the coupling of the signal which has been transferred through the upper opening; and a first antenna connected to the coupling patch so as to make surface contact therewith, and comprising a shorting bar for connecting a ground layer of a lower substrate. The antenna system may further comprise, apart from the first antenna, a second antenna disposed in the antenna system.
