Electromagnetic Field Analysis for Smart Key Antenna 2007-01-0943
Currently, the drivers are able to control a door lock at a distant point from a vehicle. Recently, a door lock system has been developed to detect an owner approaching and to unlock the door when he/she touches the door handle. In this system, an antenna detects the existence of the owner with an electrical key near the vehicle. Since this detection performance of the antenna (directivity) varies in the operating area, it is essential to recognize directivity and confirm that there is unoperating area. In this report, we describe an example of predictive calculation on directivity of an antenna using the electromagnetic field analysis.
