Abstract: Disclosed are NFC-enabled communication systems for provisioning wireless vehicle communication, control logic for operating such systems, and motor vehicles equipped with an onboard NFC-enabled device for short-range communication with one or more off-board NFC-enabled devices. A disclosed method for provisioning data exchange between an onboard electronic device of a motor vehicle and an off-board electronic device includes detecting if NFC-enabled components of the onboard and off-board electronic devices are within a predetermined proximity of each other and, if the components are within proximity, establishing a wireless communications session between the devices. After establishing the wireless communications session, determining whether or not to grant the off-board electronic device access to an NFC tag in the NFC-enabled component of the onboard electronic device. If access to the NFC tag is granted, a message data packet is transmitted from the off-board electronic device to the onboard electronic device or a personal computing device.

Abstract: A Lidar system and method of detecting an object is disclosed. The Lidar system includes a photodetector, a spectrum analyzer and a processor. The photodetector generates an electrical signal in response to a reflected light beam received at the photodetector, the reflected light beam being a reflection of a chirp signal from the object. The electrical signal has a bandwidth the same as a bandwidth of the chirp signal. The spectrum analyzer includes a power divider that partitions the electrical signal into a plurality of channels, an analog-to-digital converter that converts the electrical signal within a selected channel from an analog signal to a digital signal, and a comb filter that provides output from the selected channel from the power divider to the analog-to-digital converter. The processor determines a parameter of the object from the digital signal in the selected channel.

Abstract: A vehicle, Lidar system and method of detecting an object is disclosed. The Lidar system includes a photonic chip having an aperture, one or more photodetectors and a circulator. A transmitted light beam generated within the photonic chip exits the photonic chip via the aperture and a reflected light beam enters the photonic chip via the aperture, the reflected light beam being a reflection of the transmitted light beam from the object. The one or more photodetectors measure the parameter of the object from at least the reflected light beam. The circulator integrated into the photonic chip directs the transmitted light beam toward the aperture and directs the reflected light beam from the aperture to the one or more photodetectors. A navigation system navigates the vehicle with respect to the object based on the parameter of the object.

Abstract: A Lidar system, photonic chip and method of detecting an object is disclosed. The Lidar system includes the photonic chip. The photonic chip includes a laser and a local oscillator waveguide. The laser is integrated into the photonic chip and generates a leakage energy at a back facet of the laser for use as a local oscillator beam for the photonic chip. The local oscillator waveguide receives the leakage energy as the local oscillator beam. The laser further generates a transmitted light beam through a front facet of the photonic chip, combining the leakage energy with a reflection of the transmitted light beam form an object, and detects a combination of the reflected light beam and the leakage energy to determine a parameter of the object.

Abstract: An electromagnetic coupler that couples antenna signals for a wideband antenna positioned between glass layers of an automotive windshield. The coupler includes a first co-planar waveguide (CPW) formed on one side of a glass layer and a second CPW formed on the other side of the glass layer, where the first and second CPWs are a mirror, or near-mirror, and 180° rotated images of each other. Both the first and second CPWs include a conductive plane where removed portions of the plane define a wide CPW section and a narrow CPW section that are electrically coupled to each other, and where the remaining portions of the conductive plane are ground planes, and where the electromagnetic signals are coupled through the glass layer between the wide CPW sections.
