摘要： An antenna coupler for a wireless communication system in a vehicle couples a transmit signal source to a plurality of antennas arranged within the vehicle. A first saturable reactor has a first load winding and a first control winding wound on a first saturable core, the first load winding coupling the signal source to a first antenna. A first current source is coupled to the first control winding for providing a selected current to the first control winding. A second saturable reactor has a second load winding and a second control winding wound on a second saturable core, the second load winding coupling the signal source to a second antenna. A second current source is coupled to the second control winding for providing a selected current to the second control winding. A controller is coupled to the first and second current sources for commanding the first and second selected currents to selectably attenuate or non-attenuate a transmit signal from the transmit signal source to each respective antenna.

摘要： A secret key is programmed into a key transponder from a base station wherein the key transponder stores a fixed ID, a first default key segment stored in a first memory page, and a second default key segment stored in a second memory page. The secret key comprises a first new secret key segment to be stored in the first memory page of the key transponder and a second new secret key segment to be stored in the second memory page of the key transponder. A mutual authentication process is initially conducted using the default key. Write commands are sent to the key transponder in transferring each key segment. Write acknowledgement signals and confirmatory reading back of the data are employed for ensuring proper storage of the secret key. Recovery from the most probable types of errors enables successful programming of key transponders in an efficient manner with a low loss rate.

摘要： Vehicle information (e.g., status information, calibratable parameters, or diagnostic data) is transmitted from a base station mounted in a vehicle to a portable RKE fob via a radio-frequency signal within a specified average field strength limit. A multi-byte vehicle message is formed and then coded into a multi-bit coded message. The multi-bit coded message is framed into a plurality of packets. The radio-frequency signal is wirelessly transmitted from the base station with a plurality of spaced packet windows having a predetermined duty cycle, each packet window including a respective one of the plurality of packets. The radio-frequency signal within each of the packet windows has a predetermined field strength greater than the average field strength limit and a substantially zero field strength between the packet windows. The predetermined duty cycle results in an actual average field strength for transmitting all of the packets not exceeding the average field strength limit.
