Patent number: 10728945Abstract: Signals are transmitted from and to a plurality of terminals. The apparatus has a plurality of signal connections and at least two antenna connections. One signal connection is a main connection or a secondary connection. At least one main connection for each terminal can be connected. The number of signal connections is greater than the number of antenna connections. At least one linking element allows each main connection to be electrically linked to each antenna connection. A device for detecting transmitting activity detects a transmitting main connection based on a signal property of a signal, wherein the signal is present on a signal link section which is linked to the main connection. Signaling links between the signal connections and the antenna connections can be established on the basis of the detected transmitting main connections and the number of signal connections assigned to a terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignees: Molex CVS Dabendorf GmbH, Audi AGInventors: Khaled Bathich, Helmut Nast, Raimo Jacobi, Juergen Spehl

Patent number: 9602148Abstract: A circuit arrangement compensates for signal damping while transmitting transmission signals of a wireless mobile device. The circuit arrangement contains an adjustable signal level amplifying device which has a signal amplifier for amplifying the transmission signals with a signal amplification generated by the signal amplifier. The circuit further has an adjusting device for adjusting a resulting signal amplification, and a detector arrangement which detects whether a signal level of the transmission signal of the mobile device has exceeded an upper threshold and whether the signal level has reached a lower threshold. The detector arrangement causes the adjusting device to reduce the resulting signal amplification generated by the signal level amplifying device if the signal level has reached the upper threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Novero Dabendorf GmbHInventors: Helmut Nast, Raimo Jacobi

Patent number: 8718052Abstract: A method and system for connecting signal paths in a circuit arrangement with multiband capability for processing and/or influencing signals in radio communication, on the basis of which at least the transmission paths of a corresponding circuit arrangement are activated or deactivated on the basis of the presence of a transmitted signal from a terminal which is operated with the circuit arrangement. The transmission paths, which are deactivated in a basic state of the circuit arrangement, are periodically checked in succession for the presence of a transmitted signal from the terminal with a multiplexer that forms a functional component of a detection unit and that is switched through by a controller for sequential scanning of the transmission paths for the presence of such a transmitted signal. If a signal is present, only a transmission path for the correct frequency band of the transmitted signal is activated and continuously checked for the presence of a transmitted signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Funkwerk Dabendorf GmbHInventors: Helmut Nast, Christoph Gebauer, Raimo Jacobi

Patent number: 8238984Abstract: A system for accommodating a mobile telephone in a compartment in a motor vehicle. The compartment is electromagnetically shielded against the emission of radio signals from the mobile telephone. The system includes a connector for transmitting an antenna signal from an antenna of the motor vehicle to the mobile telephone, an electromagnetically shielded housing with an opening for inserting the mobile telephone into the housing and for removing the mobile telephone from the housing, and an elastically deformable retaining element that is designed to be electromagnetically absorbing. In a closed state of the housing in which the opening of the housing is at least partially closed, the opening at least partially shields against the emission of radio signals of the mobile telephone from the housing. In the closed state the retaining element secures the mobile telephone in a temporary position.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Funkwerk Dabendorf GmbHInventors: Udo Pursche, Michael Fenske, Ronald Heldt, Raimo Jacobi, Thomas Bartsch
