Description
The present invention relates to a smart key system, and more particularly, to a smart key transmitter and a transmission output control method thereof, the transmission output of which can be adjusted according to an execution function.
In general, RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter or Fob transmitter transmits the operation instruction such as door lock / unlock / trunk open / start / panic release to the vehicle through a specific frequency. And the receiver of the vehicle, upon receiving the operation instruction, executes the corresponding function.
The conventional RKE / Fob transmitter has a SAW resonator oscillation and transmits an operation instruction of the same transmission output to a vehicle.
Among conventional RKE / Fob transmitters, there has been a RKE / Fob transmitter that can control the transmission power by applying an expensive RF IC that can adjust the transmission power by a program or by additionally applying a circuit for adjusting the transmission power to a low-cost RF IC.
However, the conventional transmission power control type RKE / Fob transmitter has a limitation in the range of output control because it controls the amplification factor.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a smart key transmitter includes: a central processing unit for outputting a transmission signal instructing execution of a function and outputting a control signal for adjusting a magnitude of a transmission output; An applied voltage adjusting circuit outputting a voltage corresponding to the control signal; And a varactor diode which is a part of a matching circuit of an antenna, and adjusts a magnitude of the transmission output by changing a matching value of the antenna by a capacitance according to the voltage.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a smart key transmission output control method includes: outputting a transmission signal instructing execution of a function; Outputting a control signal for adjusting a magnitude of a transmission output for transmitting the transmission signal; Applying a voltage corresponding to the control signal to the varactor diode that is part of the matching circuit of the antenna; And changing the matching value according to the capacitance of the varactor diode corresponding to the voltage, and transmitting the transmission signal at a constant magnitude of the transmission output corresponding to the matching value.
According to the present invention, the operating distance of the transmission / reception command can be adjusted by adjusting the transmission output according to the customer's request or each execution function.
In addition, the present invention can control the transmission power in a wider range than the conventional RKE / Fob transmitter that adjusts the transmission distance by adjusting the amplification gain by changing the antenna matching value to adjust the transmission power.
In addition, the present invention can control the transmission output by the SAW resonator, oscillator circuit, switching transistor and varactor diode without using the RF IC, it is possible to reduce the cost.

The switching transistor T1 is a PNP transistor. When the low signal is supplied to the base, the switching transistor T1 is turned on and outputs Vpa 1 close to 3V. Near Vpa 2 is output. In this case, the 3V voltage supplied to the
At this time, since the output voltage Vpa of the switching transistor T1 is the voltage between the both ends of the varactor diode D1, the capacitance of the varactor diode D1 is different when Vpa 1 and Vpa 2. Since the capacitance of the varactor diode D1 is inversely proportional to the applied voltage, the capacitance at Vpa 1 is smaller than the capacitance at Vpa 2.
In sum, when the
