Description

201123749 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種類型的增強式電力電纜配置裝置,其 (例如)在一電源配接器裝置與一調諧器裝置之間包含組合 平行耦接之電纜以便提供一接收天線及一針對電源之導電 路徑。本發明亦係關於一種減少共模干擾信號之方法,該 方法為(例如)減少一電源配接器裝置與一調諧器裝置之間 的組合平行耦接電纜中之共模干擾信號以便提供一接收天 線及一針對電源之導電路徑的類型。 【先前技術】 攜帶型計算器件(例如,包括全球定位系統(Gps)信號接 收及處理功能性之攜帶型導航器件(PND))係熟知的且°廣 泛用作車内或其他運輸工具導航系統。 奴吕《,現代PND包含處理n、記憶體及儲存於該哉 内之地圖資料。處理器與記憶體合作以提供執行辱 憶體 丨心aa d IF Μ敌倂執行支 境,在此環境中可建立軟體作業系統,且料,常常提名 一或多個額外軟體程式以使PND之功能性能夠得到’ 且提供各種其他功能。 ::,此等器件進一步包含允許使用者與器件互動… 二去之—或多個輸入介面’及可藉以將資訊中繼傳遞; :用者之一或多個輸出介面。輸出介面之說明性實⑴ =覺顯示器及用於聲訊輸出之揚聲器。輸入介… J包括:用來控制該器件之開/關操作 之一或多個實體按⑽若器件⑽於運輸工具内,則= 145378.doc 201123749

=貝料k唬,及視情況,一或多個無線傳輸器/接收器,其 允許在蜂巢式電信及其他信號及資料網路(例如,藍芽 (Bluetooth)、Wi-Fi、Wi-Max、GSM、UMTS 及其類似網 路)上的通信。 此類型之PND亦包括一GPS天線,藉由該Gps天線,可 接收包括位置資料之衛星廣播信號,且隨後處理該等信號 以確定器件之當前位置。 ❹ PND亦可包括產生信號之電子迴轉儀(gyrosc〇pe)及加速 計,該等信號可經處理以確定當前角向及線性加速度,並 且又結合自GPS信號導出之位置資訊來確定器件及因此安 裝了該器件之運輸工具的速度及相對位移。通常,此等特 徵最常見地提供於運輸工具内導航系統中,但亦可提供於 PND中(若此舉係有利的)。 此等PND之效用主要表現在其確定在第一位置(通常, 出發或當前位置)與第二位置(通常,目的地)之間的路線之 能力上。此等位置可由器件之使用者藉由廣泛的各種不同 145378.doc 201123749 方法中之任-者來輸入,例如,藉由郵政編碼、街道名及 門牌號、先前儲存之「熟知」目的地(諸如,著名位置、 市政位置(諸如,體育館或游泳池)或其他興趣點)及最愛目 的地或近來去過之目的地。 通常,PND具備用於根據地圖資料來計算在出發地址位 置與目的地地址位置之間的「最好」$「最適宜」路線之 軟體的功能。「最好」&「最適宜」路線係基於預定準則 而確定且不-定為最快或最短路線。指引司機所沿著的路 線之選擇可為非常複雜的,且選定路線可考量現有、預測 的及動態及/或無線式地接收到的交通及道路資訊、關於 道路速度之歷史資訊及司機對於確定道路備選項之因素的 自身偏好(例如’司機可指定路線不應包括高速公路或收 費道路)。 此類型之PNDif常可安裝於運輸工具之儀錶板或播風玻 璃上仁亦可形成為運輸工具收音機之機載電腦之部分或 實際上形成為運輸工具自身之控制系統的部分。導航器件 亦可為掌上型系統之部分,諸如,pDA(攜帶型數位助 理)、媒體播放器、行動電話或其類似者,且在此等情況 本聖系統之常規功能性係藉由將硬體模組及/或軟 體安裝於器件上以執行路線計算及沿著計算出之路線的導 航而得以擴展。 在PND之情形下,一旦計算了路線,使用者便與導抗器 件互動以視情況自所提議路線之清單選擇所要之計算出的 路線視清况,使用者可干預或指引路線選擇過程,例如 145378.doc 201123749 路、位置途’應避免或必須遵循某些路線、道 且沿著此路線之導航路線計算態樣形成-主要功能’ 在沿著主要功能。 覺及/或聲訊指令,以線=導航期間,此等PND常常提供視 '路線之終點,亦即,所;^選定之路線將使用者指引至該 間於營幕上顯示地圖資:::地。PND亦常常在導航期 使得所顯示之地圖資

旅途。基於各種技術(例如,行動電話資料交換、固定相 機、GPS車隊追縱)之即時交通監視系統正用來識別交通延 遲且將資訊饋入通知系統中,例#,無線電資料系統 (RDS)-交通訊息頻道(TMC)服務。 雖然已知器件在於導航期間使用者偏離先前計算出之路 線(意外或故意)的情況下執行路線重新計算,但器件所提 i、及上文所提及之另一重要功能為在即時交通條件指示替 代路線將更方便之情況下的自動路線重新計算。或當使用 者因任何原因而主動地使器件執行路線重新計算,則器件 適當地能夠自動識別此等條件。 亦已知允許以使用者定義之準則來計算路線例如使用 者可能希望避免可能、預期或當前正發生之交通阻塞的任 何道路。讀軟體將接著使用指示特定道路上之正發生的 交通條件的所儲存資訊來計算各種料,並減其估計的 可能阻塞或延遲之程度來將所計算出之路線排序。其他基 於交通資訊之路線計算及導航準則亦係可能的。 /亦應提及,雖然路線計算及導航功能對pND之總體效用 /重要但有可能將器件純粹用於資訊顯示或「自由駕 駛」’其中僅顯示與當前器件位置相關之地圖及交通資 訊’且其中尚未計算出路線且器件當前不執行導航。此操 =模式常可適用於當使用者已知行進所要沿著之路線且不 需要導航輔助時。然而’關於交通之資訊仍用於此操作模 145378.doc 201123749 在任何情況下’可見在計算路線及指引使用者至一位置 時’或僅在自由駕敬時特定使用舆交通相關之資訊。在此 方面,且如上文所提及,已知使用一些廣播電台所支援之 RDS-TMC設施來廣播與交通相關之資訊。舉例而言在 UK ’使用分配給稱為「經典fm」之台的頻率來廣播一個 已知的與交通相關之資訊服務。當然:,熟習此項技術者應 瞭解不同頻率由不同的與交通相關之資訊服務提供者而使 用。 亦已知將一 RDS-TMC接收器提供給PND以用於接收RDS >料廣播,解碼RDS資料廣播及擷取包括於RDS資料廣播 中之TMC資料。此等調頻(FM)接收器需要為靈敏的。對於 許多當W所出售之PND,提供包含11£)8_丁]^(::調諧器之附 件,RDS-TMC調諧器在一端耦接至天線且在其另一端耦 接至連接器以用於將RDS-TMC調諧器耦接至pND之輸入。 為了以一對於使用者而言經濟且方便同時遵守國家或地 區順應規則(例如,與所謂「CE標誌」相關聯之規則)之方 式製造天線,已知由直導線形成天線。在此方面,在運輸 工具中,為了消除對多個電纜(其通常以不整齊之方式在 不同方向上延伸)的需要,已知提供一包含電力電纜與天 線之組合的增強式電力電纜。此增強式電力電纜包含以間 隔關係耦接至電力電纜之單極撓性天線,使得該單極撓性 天線大體上與電力電纜平行延伸。然而,此種類型之緊耦 接直導線類型天線易受來自相鄰電器件及/或電子器件(例 如,PND及/或電力供應(例如,點煙器轉接器(cla乃)之 145378.doc 201123749 EMC干擾。在此方面,不同於整合至運輸工具(例如,汽 車)中之電子系統,PND在射頻下相對於接地而「浮動」, 且因此所接收之信號未參考運輸工具之「EMI乾淨」主 體,而實際上參考PND之「雜訊」接地基準。此外,自 PND之製造者觀點來看,需要PND之使用者將天線連接至 運輸工具之主體以便獲得所要的「乾淨」接地基準係不需 要的。因此,天線非常接近EMI「雜訊」PND而定位。因 此,在一些情況下,天線效能可能不充分,從而導致PND 未接收任何資料或僅接收部分資料。自PND之使用者的觀 點來看,使用者簡單地感覺到沒有或不完整的交通資訊係 可用的,且可錯誤地推斷PND及/或TMC附件正不正常工 作。 歐洲專利公開案第EP 1 672 787號係關於具有經由饋線 耦接至無線電調諧器之共模輸入濾波器的天線插口之廣播 接收器。然而,輸入濾波器需要一接地,該接地由無線電 調諧器提供。不幸地,抗干擾類比接地不可用於RDS-TMC調諧器及天線之情形。 【發明内容】 根據本發明之第一態樣,提供一種增強式電力電纜配置 裝置,其包含:一調諧器外殼及一電源轉接器外殼;一在

Field of the Invention This invention relates to a type of enhanced power cable configuration apparatus that includes, for example, a combined parallel coupling between a power adapter device and a tuner device The cable provides a receiving antenna and a conductive path for the power source. The present invention is also directed to a method of reducing common mode interference signals by, for example, reducing a common mode interference signal in a combined parallel coupled cable between a power adapter device and a tuner device to provide a reception Antenna and a type of conductive path for the power supply. [Prior Art] Portable computing devices (e.g., portable navigation devices (PNDs) including Global Positioning System (Gps) signal receiving and processing functionality) are well known and widely used as in-vehicle or other vehicle navigation systems. Nuo Lu, Modern PND contains processing data, memory, and map data stored in the library.

Descriptive of the output interface (1) = sense display and speaker for audio output. Input... J includes: used to control the on/off operation of the device. One or more entities press (10) if the device (10) is in the vehicle, then = 145378. The doc 201123749 button does not have to be on the device itself, but on the steering wheel; and the microphone for the user's speech. In a particular configuration, the output interface display can be configured as a touch sensitive display (via touch sensitive overlay or otherwise) to additionally provide an input interface through which the user can operate the display via the display Device. Devices of this type will also often include: one or more physical connector interfaces, through which one or more physical connector interfaces can transmit power signals and optionally signal signals to and from the device. Power signals and, as appropriate, 贝 = 贝, and, as appropriate, one or more wireless transmitters/receivers that allow for cellular telecommunications and other signal and data networks (eg, Bluetooth, Wi) Communication on -Fi, Wi-Max, GSM, UMTS and similar networks. This type of PND also includes a GPS antenna with which satellite broadcast signals including positional data can be received and subsequently processed to determine the current position of the device. ❹ PND may also include an electronic gyroscope (gyrosc〇pe) that generates signals and an accelerometer that can be processed to determine the current angular and linear acceleration, and in conjunction with positional information derived from the GPS signal to determine the device and thus The speed and relative displacement of the vehicle on which the device is installed. Typically, these features are most commonly provided in the navigation system within the vehicle, but may also be provided in the PND (if this is advantageous). The utility of such PNDs is primarily manifested in their ability to determine the route between the first location (typically, the departure or current location) and the second location (usually the destination). These locations can be made by a wide variety of users of the device 145378. Doc 201123749 The method of inputting, for example, by postal code, street name and house number, previously stored "familiar" destinations (such as famous locations, municipal locations (such as gymnasium or swimming pool) or other interests Point) and favorite destinations or destinations that have been recently visited. In general, the PND has a function for calculating the software of the "best" $ "optimal" route between the departure address location and the destination address location based on the map data. The "best" & "best" routes are determined based on predetermined criteria and are not defined as the fastest or shortest route. The choice of route to guide the driver can be very complex, and the selected route can take into account existing, predicted and dynamic and/or wirelessly received traffic and road information, historical information about road speed and driver determination Self-preference for factors of road alternatives (eg 'driver can specify routes that should not include highways or toll roads). This type of PNDif can often be mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle or on the airborne glass or can be formed as part of the onboard computer of the vehicle's radio or as part of the control system of the vehicle itself. The navigation device can also be part of a palm-sized system, such as a pDA (portable digital assistant), a media player, a mobile phone, or the like, and in this case the conventional functionality of the system is by hardware Modules and/or software are mounted on the device to perform route calculations and to expand along the calculated route navigation. In the case of a PND, once the route is calculated, the user interacts with the impedance device to select the desired route view from the list of proposed routes as appropriate, and the user can intervene or direct the route selection process, such as 145378. Doc 201123749 Road, location way 'should avoid or must follow certain routes, roads and calculate the way along the route's navigation route - the main function' is along the main function. Sense and/or voice command, during line=navigation, these PNDs often provide the end of the route, that is, the route; the selected route directs the user to the scene to display the map::: Ground. The PND also often causes the displayed map to be periodically updated on the screen during the navigation period, 〇* the current position of the user or the user's shipment, and thus the current position of the navigation tool in the tool ( If the device is being used in the transport basin, the icon on the screen usually indicates the current device position, and is centered, the map information and other maps are special; = the map information of the current and surrounding roads nearby is above, below or outside the map. 'Depending on the situation, the navigation information can be displayed in the self-use status column in the example of the displayed navigation information. The distance of the manipulation can be selected from the current road to the next - for example, left turn or right turn f) Enter class i (for example, the content of the voice command, the duration of the door is not. The navigation function also guides the user along the route. For example, 2:2: turn left after the instruction by m).) A large number of places are required. „„ and knife analysis. As mentioned previously, User 2:=:: is activated by voice by touch screen, or (in addition or otherwise) by mistake, or by any other suitable device that continuously monitors road and traffic conditions, and Due to the change of 145378. Doc 201123749 provides or selects a change, and the rest of the journey will take place on this route. An instant traffic monitoring system based on various technologies (eg, mobile phone data exchange, fixed camera, GPS fleet tracking) is being used to identify traffic delays and feed information into the notification system, Example #, Radio Data System (RDS) - Traffic Message Channel (TMC) service. Although it is known that the device performs route recalculation while the user deviates from the previously calculated route (unexpected or intentional) during navigation, the device mentions that another important function mentioned above is in the immediate traffic condition. Automatic route recalculation in the case where an alternate route would be more convenient. Or when the user actively causes the device to perform a route recalculation for any reason, the device can automatically recognize these conditions as appropriate. It is also known to allow for the calculation of routes with user-defined criteria, such as any road that a user may wish to avoid, possibly, expected or currently occurring traffic jams. The reading software will then use the stored information indicating the traffic conditions that are occurring on a particular road to calculate the various materials and rank the calculated routes by the extent of their estimated possible blockage or delay. Other route calculation and navigation guidelines based on traffic information are also possible. / It should also be mentioned that although the route calculation and navigation functions are generally effective/important for pND, it is possible to use the device purely for information display or "free driving" where only maps and traffic information related to the current device location are displayed. The route has not been calculated and the device is currently not performing navigation. This mode of operation is often applicable when the user knows the route to travel along and does not require navigation assistance. However, information about transportation is still used for this operation mode 145378. Doc 201123749 In any case, 'visible when calculating routes and directing users to a location' or simply using traffic-related information when you are free to drive. In this regard, and as mentioned above, it is known to use some RDS-TMC facilities supported by broadcast stations to broadcast traffic related information. For example, in UK's use of frequencies assigned to stations called "classic fm" to broadcast a known traffic-related information service. Of course: those skilled in the art should be aware that different frequencies are used by different traffic-related information service providers. It is also known to provide an RDS-TMC receiver to the PND for receiving RDS > material broadcasts, decoding RDS data broadcasts, and extracting TMC data included in the RDS data broadcast. These frequency modulated (FM) receivers need to be sensitive. For many PNDs sold by W, there is an accessory that includes a £1:8 tuned to the tuner. The RDS-TMC tuner is coupled to the antenna at one end and to the connector at the other end. Coupling the RDS-TMC tuner to the input of the pND. To fabricate the antenna in a manner that is economical and convenient for the user while complying with national or regional compliance rules (eg, rules associated with the so-called "CE Mark") It is known to form an antenna from a straight wire. In this respect, it is known to provide a power cable and an antenna in a vehicle in order to eliminate the need for multiple cables, which typically extend in different directions in an irregular manner. A combination of enhanced power cables. The reinforced power cable includes a monopole flexible antenna coupled to the power cable in a spaced relationship such that the monopole flexible antenna extends generally parallel to the power cable. However, this type Tightly coupled straight wire type antennas are susceptible to susceptibility from adjacent electrical devices and/or electronic devices (eg, PND and/or power supplies (eg, cigarette lighter adapters (cla) 145378. Doc 201123749 EMC interference. In this respect, unlike an electronic system integrated into a vehicle (eg, a car), the PND "floats" relative to ground at radio frequencies, and thus the received signal is not referenced to the "EMI clean" body of the vehicle. In fact, refer to the "noise" grounding reference of the PND. In addition, from the perspective of the manufacturer of the PND, it is not necessary for the user of the PND to connect the antenna to the body of the vehicle in order to obtain the desired "clean" ground reference. Therefore, the antenna is positioned very close to the EMI "noise" PND. Therefore, in some cases, the antenna performance may be insufficient, resulting in the PND not receiving any data or receiving only part of the data. From the point of view of the user of the PND, the user simply feels that no or incomplete traffic information is available and can erroneously infer that the PND and/or TMC accessory is not functioning properly. European Patent Publication No. EP 1 672 787 relates to a broadcast receiver having an antenna jack coupled to a common mode input filter of a radio tuner via a feeder. However, the input filter requires a ground that is provided by the radio tuner. Unfortunately, anti-jamming analog grounding is not available for RDS-TMC tuners and antennas.

Referring to Figure 3, in this example, the navigation device ι can be coupled to an arm 140 that can be fastened to, for example, a vehicle 145378 using a suction cup 142.

Doc -18· 201123749 Referring additionally to Fig. 5, the enhanced power cable configuration device 15 includes a modem housing 160 and a power adapter housing 162 of the CLA 152. Power cable 164 extends between tuner housing 160 and power adapter housing 162. In this example, tuner housing 160 is a package. The enhanced power cable configuration device 150 also includes a receiving antenna 166 that extends between the tuner housing 16A and the power adapter housing 162. Receive antenna 166 extends generally in parallel and spaced relationship with power cable 164. In this regard, the spacing relationship is maintained between the power cable 164 and the receiving antenna I66 by what is referred to as a "loose tube" 168. In this example, the enhanced power cable configuration device 150 further includes a coupling circuit 17A that is coupled to the tuner housing 160 at one end thereof and has a capacity for consumption at the other end thereof. The coupling connector 172 (for example, a so-called small USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector) to the input port 158 or the input port 125 mentioned above. The coupling circuit board carries a USB cable and a power line (not shown) and extends from the tuner housing 16〇 for coupling the enhanced power cable configuration device 15 to the electronic device (eg, the navigation device 100) so that The data decoded by the tuner device (not shown in Figure 5) is carried and supports the transmission of power for the electronic device. Referring now to Figure 6, as mentioned above, the power cable 164 and the receiving antenna 166 extend substantially parallel between the tuner housing 160 and the power adapter housing 162 by means of a loose tube 168, which is also maintained. A substantially constant spacing between the power cable 164 and the receiving antenna 166. Additionally, each of the damper housing 160 and the power adapter housing 162 includes a pull-relief arrangement (not shown) to prevent tension between the power cable 164 and the receiving antenna 166.

The first proximal end 174 of the power cable 164 is electrically coupled to a power module 176 disposed within the tuner housing 160. The power module 176 is coupled to the coupling cable 17A. In this example, the USB cable carried by the coupling cable 170 constitutes an RF interference source for the power line carried by the coupling cable 170, and thus the power module 176 is used to provide "clean" substantially anti-interference by using appropriate filtering. 5 V power supply regardless of the existence of the USB cable. The power module 176 is also coupled to a tuner device 78 that is also disposed within the tuner housing 160. Tuner device 178 is coupled to USB interface module 180, but is also coupled to receive antenna 166 at its first end 174 in the following manner. The USB interface module 1 80 is connected to the cable 170. In this example, tuner device 1 78 within tuner housing 1 60 is a frequency modulated (FM) tuner', specifically an RDS-TMC tuner. By way of example, the appropriate tuner is the SI4703 integrated circuit (1C) available from Silicon Laboratories, USA. In this example, receive antenna 166 is a resonant feed line antenna that is of the dipole antenna type. Thus, the receiving antenna 166 includes a first pole portion 182 that is coupled to a coaxial cable 184 having a core (not shown) and a shield, the coaxial electrical gauge 184 acting as a feeder portion of the dipole receiving antenna 16 6 . The shield also acts as a second pole. The first pole portion 182 is formed from a length of conductor (e.g., a single-axis conductor). In this example, the core (not shown) of the second length of coaxial cable 184 is used as a single-axis electrical conductor forming the first pole portion 182. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a separate unshielded conductor can be used and that the 145378. Doc •20· 201123749 The unshielded conductor can be coupled, for example, to the core of the coaxial electrical field by soldering. As can be seen from Figure 6, the resonant feeder dipole receiving antenna 166 is fed through the end. The first length of the first pole 1 82 corresponds to a quarter (λ/4) of the wavelength of the signal to be received (e.g., a broadcast signal, such as an FM signal containing RDS-TMC data). Thus, in this example, the length of the first pole 182 is about 75 cm. Similarly, the second length of the second pole 184 corresponds to a quarter (λ/4) of the wavelength of the signal to be received. Thus, in this example, the resonant feed line receiving antenna 166 is symmetrical and the second pole 184 is also about 75 cm in length. In another embodiment, the resonant feed line receiving antenna 166 is asymmetrical, first pole The first length of portion 182 and the second length of second pole portion 184 are different ratios of wavelengths (λ). Thus, the first length of the first pole portion 128 can also correspond to a quarter (human/4) of the wavelength of the signal to be received (e.g., a broadcast signal, such as an FM signal containing RDS-TMC data). For example, the length of the first pole portion 182 may again be about 75 cm. However, the second length of the second 〇 pole portion 184 may correspond to one third (λ/3) of the wavelength of the signal to be received. For example, the second pole portion 184 can have a length of about 50 cm. Thus, it can be seen that the length of the second pole 184 can correspond to between about one-third of the wavelength and about one-quarter of the wavelength. The core of the length of the coaxial cable 18 4 is connected to the first terminal 186 of the chopper 188 at the first end 17 4 , and the shield of the coaxial cable 184 is coupled to the second terminal of the filter 188 at the first end 174 . 190.

In this example, the chopper 1 8 8 is a common mode filter, such as a common mode transformer (such as a 'coil) or a toroidal inductor or a common mode choke (e.g., a two-wire choke). As mentioned above, the 'filter' is located in the tuner housing 16 and has a common mode impedance and a differential mode impedance. The common mode impedance of filter i 8 8 can be at least about 1 kQ. The common mode impedance can be between about 丨 and about 4, for example, at about 1. 5 kQ and about 2. Between 5 kn, such as between about 2 and about 2 3 kQ. In this example, filter ι 88 has a common mode impedance of about 2 2 卩. This greatly exceeds the inherent common mode impedance of a section of cable. The differential mode impedance of filter 188 can be between about 1 Ω and about 50 Ω, for example, at about! Between Ω and about 2 Ω, such as between about 5 Ω and about 15 Ω. In this example, filter 188 has a differential mode impedance of about 10 Ω. The power module 176 is coupled to the coupling cable 170. Similarly, the USB interface module 180 is also coupled to the coupling cable 丨7〇. Referring now to Figure 7, amplifier device 194 is a low noise amplifier circuit including an input terminal 2〇2, in this example, input terminal 2〇2 is coupled to third terminal 192 of filter 188. The input terminal 2〇2 is coupled to a base terminal of a bipolar radio frequency (RF) transistor 2〇4 (such as an NPN bipolar transistor) and is back-to-back via one of the purposes for electrostatic discharge arrester (ESD) protection The voltage clamp 2〇6 coupled to the pole body is coupled to the ground potential. The input terminal is also coupled to the first terminal of the first resistor 2〇8 (e.g., 18 resistor).

The output terminal 212 of the amplifier device 194 is lightly coupled to the first terminal of the third resistor 216 (e.g., a 56 Ω resistor). The second terminal of the third resistor 216 is pure to the supply voltage via a fourth resistor 218 (e.g., an Ω resistor). The second terminal of the third resistor 216 is via the first capacitor 22 (f) such as ' 5. The 6 nF capacitor is also coupled to the ground potential.输出 Outside of amplifier device 194, output terminal 212 of amplifier device 194 is coupled to a first terminal of a second capacitor 222 (e.g., a 1 〇〇 pF capacitor). The second terminal of the second capacitor 222 is lightly connected to include a ruler for attenuation that is too high and therefore incompatible with the tuner device 178. One of the signal levels is coupled to the other voltage clamp 224 of the diode coupled to the head (or anode to cathode), and the second terminal of the second capacitor 222 is coupled between the pair of coupled diodes. The second terminal of the second valley state 222 is also coupled to the first terminal of the fifth resistor 228 (eg, a 22 Ω ◎ resistor). The second terminal of the fifth resistor 228 is via a second inductor 230 (e.g., a 270 Η inductor) and separately via a third capacitor (e.g., 3. 3 pF electric valley) and connected to the ground potential. The second terminal of the fifth resistor 228 is also coupled to the third inductor 234 (eg, 9.

The second capacitor 222 and the third capacitor 232, the fifth resistor 228 and the second inductor 23 and the third inductor 234 are used to block signals, and the impedance matching and filtering are derived from the local oscillator of the tuner device 178. wave. 145378. Doc -23- 201123749 Referring again to FIG. 6, in this example, power cable 164 and receive antenna 166 are coupled to power adapter housing 162 at power remote 64 and second remote end 198 of receive antenna 166. In this example, the second end of the power stimuli i 64 is connected to the suppression ferrite 2 女 placed in the power adapter housing 162. The suppression filter 200 can be disposed between the second end of the power cable 164 and the power supply to be described below, or between the power supply and the connection interface for coupling the CLA 1 52 to the power outlet. Turning to Figure 8', in one embodiment, the power adapter housing 162 includes a power adapter device 240 that includes a configuration (when used) with a power socket (eg, as mentioned above) The cigarette lighter of the vehicle is coupled to a connection interface (not shown). The terminal face of the connection interface is connected to the first and second terminals 242' of the suppression filter 2'. In this embodiment, the suppression filter 2 is a common mode coil. In this example, the common mode coil has an impedance greater than about 1 kΩ at _circle 2 (such as 3 kn at 1 〇〇 MHz) and a direct current (DC) resistance less than about 2 ( (such as (4) Sink resistance). The common mode coil 2's wheel terminal 244 is coupled to an input terminal of a switched mode power supply 2 handle (e.g., a so-called buck converter circuit).

The connection interface is coupled to the switching power supply % without suppressing the chopper 200 therebetween, and the suppression filter 2_ is connected to the power supply 164: between the output terminal of the switching power supply 246 . In this example, the suppression filter 200 is a filter having the following structure.

In another embodiment, the common mode coil of Figure 8 and the filter of Figure 9 are used in combination to provide improved filtering. Referring back to Fig. 4, in operation, the common mode voltage u(10) is present in the system due to other sources of interference generation in the vehicle (eg &, a switched power supply associated with the power provided by the transport guard). It is particularly desirable that the 'system contains the first common mode interference current component (him)' which flows from the CLA 152 to the interface in the power mitigation (6) and from = to the navigation device _. The main scalar of the first-common mode interference current component is generated by CLA 152, but the first common mode interference current component (i_) is also contained - attributable to the component of the common mode voltage ^. The second common mode interference current component (U2) flows into the receiving antenna 166, the main component of which is caused by the parasitic capacitance existing between the ground 156 and the navigation aid 1 以及 and the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the power cable ι. The other component of the second common mode interference current component (icm2) is attributable to the first common mode interference current component (ieml) and the second common mode interference current component GW to be described later. Of course, the second total Mode interference H5378. Doc -25- 201123749 The current component (iem2) flows into the receiving antenna 166 regardless of whether the CLA 152 is attached to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and/or CLA 152. However, it should be understood that in this case the second common mode interference current component (icm2) will not contain the component associated with the first common mode interference current component (icml). Further, the second common mode interference current component (iem3) is induced in the receiving antenna 166 by the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the navigation device, and represents its main component. However, the third common mode interference current component (丨(4)3) also includes a component attributable to the common mode interference current component (icml) and the second common mode interference current component. The presence of filter 188 is used to isolate resonant feeder receive antenna 166 from the above-described common mode interference current component, and thus the performance of receive antenna 166 is significantly improved (e.g., 20 dB).
