Abstract: A wireless wake-up system and an operation method thereof are provided to optimize power consumption when wireless data is received. The wireless wake-up system activates a wake-up detection module and then compares a wireless input signal received through an antenna with a pre-stored reference value. If the wireless input signal is equal to the reference value, the wireless wake-up system determines that the input signal is a wake-up signal with a low bit rate, and then generates a wake-up command corresponding to the wake-up signal. Also, the wireless wake-up system activates a selected module kept in an inactive state by sending the wake-up command to the selected module. The activated module may be a microcontroller unit (MCU). When the MCU is activated, the wireless wake-up system may inactivate the wake-up detection module.

Abstract: Provided are a passive entry system for changing a scan method to reduce battery consumption of a smart key and a method for performing a function thereof. In the passive entry system, a smart key ECU periodically transmits a low-frequency scan signal for detecting the smart key. When the smart key being in a slip state is located within a receiving radius of the scan signal, the smart key receives the scan signal and is converted into an active state. Battery consumption of the smart key can be reduced because the smart key normally being in the slip state is converted into the active state when receiving the scan signal from the smart key ECU. Furthermore, the smart key is converted into the active state only within the low-frequency scan signal receiving radius formed near an automobile and requests the smart key ECU to perform a function of the automobile, for example, a function of closing/opening doors. Accordingly, a reliable passive entry system can be achieved.
