Abstract:
A vision system for a vehicle towing a trailer includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of the trailer and viewing rearward of the trailer. A trailer antenna is disposed at the trailer and in data communication with the camera, and a vehicle antenna is disposed at the vehicle and in data communication with a control unit disposed at the vehicle. The trailer antenna is operable to transmit signals representative of image data captured by the camera toward a road surface along which the vehicle and trailer are traveling so that the transmitted signals reflect off of the road surface and toward the vehicle antenna disposed at the vehicle. The vehicle antenna receives the reflected RF signals and communicates data to the control unit that are representative of the received reflected signals.

Claim (Index 1):
A vision system for a vehicle towing a trailer, said vision system comprising:\n a camera disposed at a rear portion of a trailer being towed by a vehicle and viewing rearward of the trailer, wherein said camera captures video image data; a control unit disposed at the vehicle towing the trailer; a trailer radio frequency (RF) antenna disposed at the trailer, wherein said trailer RF antenna is in data communication with said camera, and wherein said trailer RF antenna comprises a trailer RF transmitting antenna; a vehicle RF antenna disposed at the vehicle, wherein said vehicle RF antenna is in data communication with said control unit, and wherein said vehicle RF antenna comprises a vehicle RF receiving antenna; wherein, with the vehicle towing the trailer and traveling on a road surface, said trailer RF transmitting antenna transmits RF signals representative of video image data captured by said camera toward the road surface so that the transmitted RF signals reflect off the road surface and toward said vehicle RF receiving antenna so as to be received by said vehicle RF receiving antenna disposed at the vehicle; and wherein said vehicle RF receiving antenna receives the reflected RF signals and communicates data to said control unit representative of the received reflected RF signals.
