Abstract

An automobile remote control circuitry. There are wireless transmission circuitry and wireless receiving circuitry each on the remote control itself and the circuitry inside the automobile. The special feature: the wireless transmission circuitry and wireless receiving circuitry apply the same specification of LO base band frequency circuitry. Based on above structure, it can reduce the number of components used in the bi-direction remote control, lower the total component cost and easier in manufacture processes.

Claims

1. A bi-direction signal transmission circuit for an automobile, comprising:

a wireless receiving circuit including;

a signal amplifier, a signal mixer, a signal filter, an AM frequency sampler and an LO frequency circuit having two outputs with a first output connected in parallel to said signal mixer, wherein a signal from an antenna is first amplified by said signal amplifier whereupon the signal is modulated in accordance with a base frequency from said LO frequency circuit to be a control circuit of low frequency, and whereupon the signal passes through said signal filter and said AM frequency sampler to a control circuit for performing preset procedures; and

a wireless transmission circuit having a signal amplifier connected to a second output of said LO frequency circuit wherein the base frequency from said LO frequency circuit of said wireless receiving circuit is initiated to said signal amplifier for amplification as soon as a trigger signal is sent from said control circuit to said signal amplifier, whereupon the amplified signal is sent out by said antenna.

2. A system according to claim 1 wherein the bi-directional signal transmission circuit is in communication with a mobile phone.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the frequency of the LO frequency circuit in the automobile has a different frequency than the frequency of a LO frequency circuit in a remote control.
