Patent number: 7268644Abstract: A system for connecting at least two receivers to a common antenna is proposed, antenna signal lines being supplied to the receivers, which stands out in that the input impedances of the at least two receivers are matched only in a narrow-band fashion in the range of their current reception frequencies to the impedances of the antenna signal lines supplied to them. An antenna signal splitter is also proposed. Finally, a method for controlling the reception frequencies of at least two receivers connected to a common receiving antenna is proposed, which is distinguished by the fact that the reception frequencies of the at least two receivers are set in such a way that they maintain a predefined minimum frequency distance from one another. A reduction of an antenna signal attenuation in an antenna signal splitter for multiple receiver systems is thereby possible, provided the receivers are tuned to different reception frequencies.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2002Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Kottschlag, Lutz Pochowski, Gerhard Pitz

Patent number: 7200375Abstract: A radio receiver system having a plurality of receiving antennas and a plurality of receivers is described in which antenna signals of a multiplicity of the plurality of receiving antennas are fed to each of the plurality of receivers. The plurality of receiving antennas may be interconnected to the plurality of receivers more flexibly as a function of the desired reception strategy. In addition, the functionality of the entire system may also be maintained in the event of a defect or failure of one or more receiving antennas.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2002Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Kottschlag, Gerhard Pitz

Patent number: 7003272Abstract: A radio apparatus (95), particularly for mobile radio, which makes it possible to adjust the signal reception in a predeterminably optimized way is proposed. The radio apparatus (95) includes a receiver part (1) and an evaluation unit (5), which controls the sensitivity and/or the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiver part (1) as a function of a predeterminable signal reception quality and the actual signal reception. In the event of defective signal reception, the evaluation unit (5) increases the sensitivity and/or the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiver part (1), and when signal reception is error-free for a predeterminable time it reduces the sensitivity and/or the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiver part (1).Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1997Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Thomas Mader, Gerhard Kottschlag, Gerhard Pitz

Patent number: 6477358Abstract: Method for controlling the power gain for outputting a transmitted signal from a radio device. At the beginning of the transmitted signal, the output power is increased to a preset power level along a preset characteristic curve. At the end of the transmitted signal, the preset power is decreased along the preset characteristic curve. The power gain is controlled accordingly by a control signal (8, 9). A reference control signal (5) is used for the rising and falling edges of the control signal (8, 9). The control signal (8, 9) is limited to a preset maximum control signal value (6, 7).Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1999Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Thomas Mader, Gerhard Kottschlag, Gerhard Pitz

Patent number: 6360082Abstract: A radio receiver (1), in particular a car radio, is proposed, which is used for a space-saving feed-in of an antenna cable (15). A radio telephone (30) is integrated into the radio receiver (1). An antenna connector (5) is provided on a rear or lateral wall (10) of the housing of the radio receiver (1). The antenna connector (5) for the antenna cable (15) extends in a parallel direction or a narrow angle in respect to the rear or lateral wall (10) of the housing. The antenna connector (5) is arranged in a bulge (45) of the rear or lateral wall (10) of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Pitz, Thomas Mader, Gerhard Kottschlag
