  • Patent number: 7319381
    Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus includes a receiving circuit board having a signal receiving circuit formed on one side of an insulating substrate, a wide conductive pattern formed on the other side of the insulating substrate that faces a forming position of the signal receiving circuit, and a printed radiating conductor formed on the other side of the insulating substrate deviated from a position that faces the forming position of the signal receiving circuit. In the signal receiving apparatus, an input stage of the signal receiving circuit, an output stage of the printed radiating conductor, and the wide conductive pattern are conductively connected on the receiving circuit board, and received signals are supplied to the signal receiving circuit, by using the printed radiating conductor and the wide conductive pattern as an antenna, through a conductive connection point thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050083175
    Abstract: A keyless entry receiver for a vehicle having an ignition switch is provided. The keyless entry receiver includes a receiving unit that receives a remote control signal and an air pressure monitoring signal. The remote control signal is configured to control a door locking/unlocking and is supplied from a keyless entry transmitter. The air pressure monitoring signal is configured to monitor air pressure of a tire and is supplied from an air pressure detecting unit. The receiving unit receives the remote control signal and the air pressure monitoring signal at a different time frame in response to an on/off operation of the ignition switch.
