摘要： A tire position identification system and method include a transmitter that is configured to send an initiation signal. A receiver is configured to receive the initiation signal and attenuate the initiation signal until the initiation signal is within a first predetermined range of a reference signal. A controller identifies the position of a tire in response to the attenuation. In some embodiments, the reference signal is adjusted until the attenuated initiation signal is within a second predetermined range of the adjusted reference signal, and the position of the tire is identified further in response to the amount of adjustment of the reference signal.

摘要： In order to provide better resolution over a wider pressure range the previously available, the techniques disclosed herein set an output precision of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a control signal provided by a control element. The control signal sets the output precision of the ADC to a first level to measure an ambient pressure within a first pressure range; and signal sets the output precision of the ADC to a second level to measure an ambient pressure within a second pressure range.

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.
