    摘要: A system for includes master and sniffer devices. The master device includes: first antennas with different polarized axes; a transmitter transmitting a challenge signal via the first antennas from the vehicle to a slave device, where the slave device is a portable access device; and a receiver receiving a response signal in response to the challenge signal from the slave device. The sniffer device includes: second antennas with different polarized axes; and a receiver receiving, via the second antennas, the challenge signal from the transmitter and the response signal from the slave device. The sniffer device measures when the challenge signal and the response signal arrive at the sniffer device to provide arrival times. The master or sniffer device estimates at least one of a distance from the vehicle to the slave device or a location of the slave device relative to the vehicle based on the arrival times.

    摘要: A method of communicating with a portable access device includes iteratively performing an algorithm via an access module of a vehicle. The algorithm includes a series of operations including: selecting a frequency from multiple frequencies; selecting an antenna pair from multiple possible antenna pairs, where antennas of the possible antenna pairs include antennas with different polarized axes; transmitting a packet to the portable access device via the selected antenna pair; receiving a first RSSI and a response signal from the portable access device, the first RSSI corresponds to the transmission of the packet; and measuring a second RSSI of the response signal; based on the first RSSIs and the second RSSIs. A best one of the frequencies and a best antenna pair of the possible antenna pairs are selected. One or more additional packets are transmitted using the selected best frequency and the selected best antenna pair.

    摘要: A system is disclosed and includes a plurality of antennas. Each antenna includes a plurality of conductive elements and is circularly polarized. The plurality of conductive elements is configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signals. A first end of each of the plurality of conductive elements is electrically coupled to a printed circuit board, which includes a plurality of coupler circuits and a switching circuit. The plurality of coupler circuits is configured to combine the RF signals and output a signal to the switching circuit based on the combined RF signals. The switching circuit is configured to selectively output one of the signals based on at least one control port of the switching circuit being selectively activated by a control signal. The system also includes a microcontroller configured to determine, based on at least one of the signals, an angle of arrival associated with the plurality of antennas.

    摘要: A system includes a transmitter, a receiver and a control module. The transmitter transmits a RF signal from one of a vehicle and a portable access device to the other one of the vehicle and the portable access device. The receiver receives a response signal from one of the vehicle and the portable access device in response to the RF signal. The control module: converts the response signal to in-phase and quadrature-phase signals; based on the RF, in-phase signal and quadrature-phase signals; detects a range extension type relay attack performed by an attacking device to obtain at least one of access to or operational control of the vehicle; where the RF signal is relayed via the attacking device from the vehicle to the portable access device or the response signal is relayed via the attacking device from the portable access device to the vehicle; and performs a countermeasure.

    摘要: A system for accessing or providing operational control of a vehicle includes a network device and a control module. The network device includes: an antenna module including antennas with different polarized axes; a transmitter transmitting a series of tones via the antenna module from the vehicle to a second network device and change the frequencies of the tones during the transmission of the series of tones, where, at any moment in time, at least one of the antennas is not cross-polarized with an antenna of the second network device; and a receiver receiving the series of tones from the second network device. The control module: determines differences in phases of the series of tones versus differences in frequencies of the series of tones; and based on the differences in the phases and the differences in the frequencies, determines a distance between the first network device and the second network device.
