Abstract:
One example includes a digital communications converter. The converter includes at least one analog signal port configured to couple to at least one radiating element associated with an antenna structure coupled to an exterior surface of a vehicle. The at least one analog signal port can be configured to at least one of transmit and receive analog radio frequency (RF) signals respectively to and from the at least one radiating element. The converter also includes a digital interface configured to at least one of receive the analog RF signals or transmit the analog RF signals via the respective at least one analog signal port. The converter is also configured to convert between the analog RF signals and digital communication signals on a digital transmission medium that are at least one of transmitted to the digital communications converter via a digital communications cable and transmitted from the digital communications converter via the digital communications cable.

Claim (Index 12):
A vehicle antenna system comprising:\n an antenna structure coupled to an exterior surface of a vehicle, the antenna structure comprising at least one radiating element configured to at least one of wirelessly transmit and receive analog radio frequency (RF) signals; and a digital communications converter comprising:\n an analog signal port coupled to the at least one radiating element; \n at least one analog/digital converter comprised of at least one of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) coupled to the respective at least one analog signal port and being configured to at least one of convert the analog RF signals received via the at least one radiating element to digital RF signals and convert the digital RF signals to the analog RF signals to be transmitted via the at least one radiating element; \n a digital interface configured to at least one of encode the digital RF signal to generate digital communication signals in a digital signal protocol on a digital transmission medium based on the digital RF signals and generate the digital RF signals based on the digital communication signals in the digital transmission medium; and \n a digital medium port configured to receive the digital communications cable for transmission of the digital communications signal between the digital communications converter and a control system associated with the vehicle.
