Abstract: A vehicle includes an antenna system and a controller. The controller may be configured to, responsive to wireless energy, received via the antenna system, exceeding a magnitude and duration indicative of a cellular connection from a nomadic device at a predetermined position in the vehicle in an absence of a connection with the device via a local protocol while the vehicle is in motion, operate a powertrain to limit a speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: A key fob includes a power amplifier including an output having an output impedance. A radio frequency antenna connected to the power amplifier output represents a first load impedance to the power amplifier output in a space substantially free of interference for radio frequency transmissions, and a second load impedance to the power amplifier output when a hand of a user is capacitively coupled to the antenna. The difference between the second load impedance and the output impedance of the power amplifier is less than the difference between the first load impedance and the output impedance.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for characterizing the radio frequency (RF) functionality of a vehicle remote keyless system (RKS) by separating and precisely characterizing the individual bits of the overall RKS system in an enclosed controlled environment. More specifically, this RKS characterization system includes an enclosed testing chamber for isolating the key fob from the vehicle, and a simulation control system that manipulates RF signals between the key fob and the vehicle for controlled RF signal analysis between the components. In certain embodiments, the RKS characterization system includes an automated process for actuating the key fob. Through this process, the RKS characterization system is able to separately identify the Key Fob Factor, the Vehicle Factor, and the Person Factor, of the vehicle RKS system.

Abstract: A communication system for a vehicle includes a phased array antenna and a controller. The phased array antenna has a plurality of elements. The controller may be configured to select a subset of the elements to beam form a main lobe of a radiation pattern of the antenna based on a speed and steering angle of the vehicle. Also, the controller may be configured to select a subset of the elements and shift a phase of a signal emitted from each of the subset of the elements to beam form a main lobe of a radiation pattern of the antenna based on a speed and a change in speed of the vehicle. Further, the controller may be configured to select the subset of the elements based on a signal indicative of a location of the vehicle and a map database of a surrounding area of the location.
