In many cases it is desirable to paint these antennas to improve the appearance of the vehicle. In this communication we present an investigation of the effect that both metallic and non-metallic two-pack polyurethane paint has on a structure radiating at approximately 1.5 GHz (GPS Ll-band), with a particular emphasis on the impedance bandwidth and radiation performance.
