1. |
Emitting LF Antennas:
Inductive antennas in and at the vehicle are used to transform
the current, driven by the SMK ECU antenna driver, into a 134.2
kHz magnetic field, which is the carrier for the SMART KEY challenge.
Three antennas cover the vehicle’s exterior: two antennas
in the Door Handles (DS and PS) cover the area around the doors;
one antenna in the rear bumper covers the area around the trunk.
Up to two antennas cover the vehicle’s interior and the trunk
interior: one in the passenger compartment and one in the trunk.
|
2. |
Bidirectional Immobilizer Antenna (for Limp Home):
The Immobilizer Backup Antenna is used for sending and receiving
data: it emits a magnetic field (134.2 kHz challenge) and receives
changes in the field strength (response of Transponder).
