  • Exciter-excitation system and methods for communications
    Patent number: 7392013
    Abstract: An exciter system (1, 2) able to communicate information between an exciter unit (10) and one or more remote units (12) or between multiple exciter units (10). The exciter units (10) may include wireless type exciter devices, such as optimum exciters (14), or they may include wired equivalent type exciter devices, such as direct connect exciters (16). The exciter devices (14, 16) inject or extract RF currents (24) in the metallic framework (22) of a vehicle. The remote units (12) couple electromagnetic fields (26) with the metallic framework (22) of the vehicle. The information is exchanged with the exciter devices (14, 16) by communications equipment (20) that modulates or demodulates the RF currents (24) and/or electromagnetic fields (26) with the information. As the RF currents (24) and/or electromagnetic fields (26) reach everywhere within, on and in close proximity to the vehicle the information is communicated throughout.

  • Hub and probe system and method
    Publication number: 20040157545
    Abstract: A method is afforded for utilizing and implementing a hub and probe system in a wireless communication structure. A hub communicates a first signal. The signal is communicated via evanescent waves created by an exciter. A probe receives the signal from the exciter via the evanescent waves. Conductive elements included in walls of the wireless communications structure receive a second signal from the probe. The conductive elements communicate the second signal to the exciter. The exciter passes the second signal back to the exciter.

  • Exciter system and excitation methods for communications within and very near to vehicles
    Patent number: 6600896
    Abstract: An exciter system (1, 2) able to communicate information between an exciter unit (10) and one or more remote units (12) or between multiple exciter units (10).
