Title: Vehicle anti-theft system whereby a transponder carried by the user communicates with antennae of the car
Inventor: GOLD PETER
IPC: B60R25/04
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: Two or more antennae 3 disposed in a vehicle 1 are controlled with a pulse-width modulated rectangular signal by a power control unit and a phase control unit. If the transponder 5 is orientated so that the signal received from the antennae is not strong enough to challenge the transponder, the phase and/or the transmitting power of the antennae may be altered so that the three-dimensional intensity distribution of the induced magnetic field 4 is changed. This may result in a stronger signal being received at the transponder. The power and phase are controlled such that power alteration does not cause a phase alteration and vice versa. On receiving the challenge signal from the antennae, the transponder emits an item of encoded information in a response signal. The control unit 2 compares the received response values with an expected value stored and for example releases door locks 7 or the immobiliser 8 upon successful authentication.
