The pole antenna of vehicles for AM/FM radio broadcasting receptions has many probems, such as damageable mechanical system and noise etc. It is considered that noise is composed of the structural vibration noise and the air flow induced aerodynamic noise. Also we find out that the setting process of a printed on-glass automobile antenna has many difficulties. Recently, the above mentioned problems can be reduced by employing enhanced wiper antenna which utilizes the windshied wiper arm. The new system is a passive antenna. In this study, experiments for the characteristics of a wiper antenna by measuring the SWR, radiation pattern and received powe have been carried out. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the wiper antenna has better performance than any other antenna.

플랫 블레이드 와이퍼의 블레이드의 누름압 분포를 조정하여 역전과정에서 발생되는 진동을 저감하는 방법을 제시하였다. 블레이드와 유리면 사이에 길이방향으로 불균일한 누름압 분포를 도입, 고무스트립에 점진적인 역전을 유도함으로써 역전과정에서 발생하는 충격력을 저감하였다. 블레이드 내의 바디스프링 형상을 이전 연구에서 제시된 방법을 통해 구해진 형태를 적용함으로써 누름압 분포를 조정하였다. 이 방법을 적용하여 전체 길이에 균일한 누름압과 불균일한 누름압을 발생시키는 두 종류의 블레이드를 개발한 다음 누름압을 측정하여 확인하였다. 두 블레이드에서 발생하는 수직방향 및 횡방향 진동을 측정 비교한 결과, 불균일한 누름압을 가진 블레이드가 균일한 누름압의 블레이드에 비해 훨씬 작은 수직방향 진동을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

An analytical procedure to determine a proper profile of the spring rail that generates intended contact pressure distribution in the flat wiper blade is introduced. The flat wiper blade is one piece blade and subjected to pressing force at a center point. In this type of blade, contact pressure distribution in the tip of rubber strip is determined by the pressing force, the initial profile of the blade before contact and bending stiffness of the blade. Experimentally obtained bending stiffness of the blade assembly is almost identical to that of the spring rail. Principle of reciprocity has been used to define the initial profile of spring rail from the deformed profile that is assumed to be identical to the windshield glass profile. The procedure has been verified experimentally by measuring the contact pressure of the blade assembled with the spring rail designed by the procedure proposed here. Measured contact pressure distributions of the blades show good agreements with intended distributions over the entire blade span. Consequently, it can be concluded that proposed procedure has relatively good accuracy in developing the spring rail for flat blade having a specific contact pressure distribution.
