An antenna system connectable to a vehicle includes an exterior antenna and an interior antenna. The vehicle has a wall including an outer surface and an inner surface generally opposing the outer surface. The inner surface and the outer surface cooperate together to create an aperture. The wall defines an exterior environment and an interior cabin of the vehicle. The exterior antenna is disposed on the outer surface of the wall, where the exterior antenna transmits and receives RF signals to and from an external RF device that is located in the exterior environment. The interior antenna is located within the interior cabin defined by the inner surface of the wall. The interior antenna receives and transmits RF signals to and from an interior RF device located within the interior cabin.
An antenna system connectable to a vehicle having an interior cabin, the antenna system comprising:
A method of sending and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals from a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a wall including an outer surface and an inner surface that generally opposes the outer surface, wherein the inner surface and the outer surface cooperate together to create an aperture, the method comprising:
