Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a non-contact power closure member system for operating a liftgate of vehicle. The non-contact power closure member system includes at least one sensor for sensing an object or motion when a key fob is located within a predetermined distance of the vehicle. An indicator is located on the vehicle to inform the user of the appropriate location to make an activation gesture. The system also includes an electronic control unit connected to the at least one sensor and executing software. The electronic control unit processes the data to determine if the gesture made by the user is the activation gesture required to open the liftgate, or a false signal. In response to the activation gesture, the electronic control unit initiates opening of the liftgate. Methods are provided for operating the liftgate of a vehicle using a non-contact power closure member system.

Claim (Index 14):
The method as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the step of generating the intermediate radar field adjacent to the vehicle using the radar based gesture recognition subassembly includes the steps of:\n amplifying the heterodyned signal and outputting an amplified heterodyne signal using a transmit amplifier coupled to the oscillator; splitting the amplified heterodyne signal using a splitter having a splitter input coupled to the transmit amplifier and having a plurality of splitter outputs; and emitting emitted radar waves corresponding to the amplified heterodyne signal to provide an intermediate radar field within a predetermined distance from the radar based gesture recognition subassembly using at least one transmit antenna element coupled to one of the plurality of splitter outputs.
