US Classification:
343700MS, 343789
Abstract:
The present invention provides an antenna unit that eliminates the need for an EMI shield to protect the sensitive components of the antenna unit's circuit board from EMI. The antenna unit includes a planar member composed of a material operating as a ground plane for the antenna unit, the ground plane defining a cavity; a circuit board secured to the ground plane, the circuit board including a platform and at least one circuit board component, the platform covering the cavity so as to enclose the circuit board component within the cavity, and an antenna positioned adjacent to the platform and in communication with the circuit board.

Abstract:
An integrated patch antenna is disclosed. The integrated patch antenna receives at least a first and second band of signals. The integrated patch antenna includes a bottom metallization and first and second upper metallizations disposed about a dielectric material to receive the first and second signal bands. The first and second signal bands may be, for example, a satellite digital audio radio systems (SDARS) band and a global positioning system (GPS) band.

International Classification:
B60C 23/00
US Classification:
340447, 340442, 375317, 343711, 343713
Abstract:
An automotive tire pressure monitor with diversity antenna system employs a RF transmitter within each wheel/tire assembly and a vehicle mounted receiver with multiple receiving antennas. A first, primary antenna is located adjacent one vehicle window and a secondary antenna is located adjacent another vehicle window opposite the primary antenna. Both antennas are coupled to a receiver via a switch. The receiver feeds a processor, which is encoded to select the optimal antenna/receiver configuration based upon absolute signal strength (signal to noise), signal quality (completeness of encoded data) or signal reception rate. The signal received from the optimized antenna/receiver configuration is processed and transmitted to the host vehicle for system intervention and or display to an operator.

US Classification:
4552771, 4552772
Abstract:
A receiver system and method for receiving signals are provided, wherein the system includes a plurality of antenna elements configured to receive a transmitted signal. A receiver device is in communication with the plurality of antenna elements, wherein the receiver device is configured to emit an output based upon the received signal, and communicate a control signal that corresponds to a determined signal quality of the received signal. A switch device is adapted to switch among the plurality of antenna elements to electrically connect a selected antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements to the receiver device. A controller is in communication with the receiver device, such that the controller receives the control signal, wherein the controller commands the switch device to directly switch to any of the antenna elements to electrically connect one of the plurality of antenna elements to the receiver device based upon the control signal.
