Abstract: An AM/FM radio system for a vehicle that is selectively impedance matched to the particular tuned frequency of interest so that noise received by other frequencies does not affect the received signal. The radio system includes an HMI allowing a user to select an AM or FM radio station and a radio tuner responsive to a signal from the HMI identifying the selected radio station. The tuner tunes the radio system to the radio station, and provides a signal to the HMI identifying the radio station. The HMI places a message on a vehicle bus identifying the radio station that the radio tuner is tuned to. An antenna controller receives the message from the vehicle bus to selectively control an impedance matrix to provide impedance matching for the selected radio station frequency. The antenna controller also selectively tunes antenna radiating elements to the particular tuned frequency.

Abstract: The specification discloses an automotive satellite antenna assembly adapted for placement within an automotive vehicle passenger compartment under the vehicle glass, such as the windshield, the rear window, a panoramic roof, or a sunroof. The assembly includes a satellite antenna, a ground plane electrically connected to the antenna, and a choke ring electrically connected to the ground plane and defining a conductive cavity in which the antenna is located. The dimensions of the ground plane are smaller than the wavelength of any signal within the frequency range of the antenna. Preferably the antenna, the ground plane, and the choke ring have substantially the same shape and are concentric with one another.
