Abstract: Vehicular connectivity serves as one of the major enabling technologies for current applications like driver assistance, safety and infotainment as well as upcoming features like highly automated vehicles - all of which having certain quality of service requirements, e. g. datarate or reliability. This work focuses on vehicular integration of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capable multielement antenna systems and frequency-agile radio frequency (RF) front ends to cover current and upcoming connectivity needs. It is divided in four major parts. For each part, mostly physical layer effects are analyzed (any performance lost on physical layer, cannot be compensated in higher layers), sensitivities are identified and novel concepts are introduced based on the status-quo findings.
