System and method for remote keyless system characterization
First Claim
1. A vehicle remote keyless characterization system comprising:
- an radio frequency (RF) transceiver configured to capture an RF signal from a key fob and transmit the RF signal to a vehicle for;
a plurality of positions wherein the vehicle is inside a testing chamber and the key fob is outside of the testing chamber; and
a plurality of positions wherein the key fob is inside the testing chamber and the vehicle is outside the testing chamber.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for characterizing the radio frequency (RF) functionality of a vehicle remote keyless system (RKS) by separating and precisely characterizing the individual bits of the overall RKS system in an enclosed controlled environment. More specifically, this RKS characterization system includes an enclosed testing chamber for isolating the key fob from the vehicle, and a simulation control system that manipulates RF signals between the key fob and the vehicle for controlled RF signal analysis between the components. In certain embodiments, the RKS characterization system includes an automated process for actuating the key fob. Through this process, the RKS characterization system is able to separately identify the Key Fob Factor, the Vehicle Factor, and the Person Factor, of the vehicle RKS system.
