1.1 scope of SMART KEY SYSTEM
The System offers the following features:
• passive access for two doors, driver side and passenger side as well as trunk/tailgate
• passive start after interior detection of the SMART KEY FOB (without interior trunk and
hat shelf detection)
• LF-RF communication (based on Siemens’ SMART KEY system)
• passive access/locking of the two front doors via a toggle push button in the door
handles
• passive access trunk/tailgate via the trunk lid switch at the trunk
• max. 2 SMART KEY FOBs can be handled by the system

1.2 short description of the SYSTEM
1.2.1 General Definition of SMART KEY
The SMART KEY system is a system that allows the user to access and operate a
vehicle in a very convenient way. To access the vehicle no traditional key or remote
control unit is needed.
The user carries a SMART KEY FOB which itself does not require any conscious
actions by the user (e.g. operate a button). The SMART KEY system is triggered by
.

pressing a push button in the door handle.
sondere für den Fall der Patenterteilung oder GM-Eintragung
After being triggered the vehicle sends out a request in a limited range. If the
SMART KEY FOB receives this request, it automatically sends a response to the
vehicle. Then the system decides whether to perform a particular action (unlocking,
locking…) or remain inactive.
In a similar manner the vehicle’s Mechatronic Steering Lock (MSL) is released.
Again, a communication between the vehicle and the SMART KEY FOB is needed
before any actions will be performed.
1.2.2 Wireless Communication
Electromagnetic waves are used to exchange information between the vehicle and the
SMART KEY FOB. Both, vehicle and SMART KEY FOB are equipped with a transmitter,
a receiver and several antennas.
1.2.3 concept Description
With this concept it is possible to have a set of interior antennas that covers the vehicle’s
interior and a set of exterior antennas that covers the vehicle’s exterior.

Page 5
For an unambiguous separation between the vehicle’s interior and exterior it is sufficient
that at least one area is covered exactly by the corresponding operating ranges of the
antennas.
The functions of the SMART KEY system have to be provided in a clearly defined and
limited range. For the up-link from the vehicle to the SMART KEY FOB, a magnetic field
with a frequency of 125 kHz and ASK modulation is used. Inductive antennas in and at
the vehicle radiate the electromagnetic energy.
Technical aspects of 125 kHz – magnetic field:
• virtually no reflections,
• cubical decrease of field strength → allows good range control,
• released frequency band (ISM),
• high penetration,
• low quiescent current demand due to 125 kHz input stage (SMART KEY FOB),

•less sensitive for detuning compared to higher frequency.

For the down-link from the SMART KEY FOB to the vehicle, the standard radio frequency
(RF) is used (similar to the classic remote control functions) with FSK modulation.
1.2.4 System Architecture
The system is designed as an optional system, making it possible to equip vehicles of the
same car-Line with different levels of access control systems.
The system is suitable to be integrated into an existing architecture that provides central
locking functions with standard remote control. This proposal assumes that the following
functions / devices are already present in the vehicle’s architecture.
• Central locking system (latch / motor – drivers etc.)
• Standard body control functions
• Warning buzzer

1.2.5 Main Functions
• The system allows the user to access and exit (unlock and lock) the vehicle without
performing any actions with the SMART KEY FOB.
• The system allows the user to release the MSL and to switch the power modes (Off,
Accessory, Ignition), as well as to start and stop the vehicle’s engine without
performing any actions with the SMART KEY FOB.
• Additionally, the system offers a so called “limp home mode”, wherein the user can
operate all vehicle functions by inserting the key into the MSL or by inserting the
mechanical key blade into the door lock.

It reads the inputs (Push button, MSL Knob Push Switch, PARK position Switch),
controls the outputs (e.g. exterior and interior antennas), and communicates via the
CAN/LIN (depends on the vehicle) as well as a single line interface to further devices of
the car.
For communication with the SMART KEY FOB, the SMK ECU generates a request
(challenge) as an encoded and modulated 125 kHz signal at the inductive antenna
outputs and receives the SMART KEY FOB’s response via the external RF receiver.
The main functional blocks of the SMK ECU are:
• Power supply
• Microcontroller with FLASH Memory
• Single Line Interface to MSL
• Single Line Interface to SRX
• Single Line Interface to EMS
• Input stage
• LF antenna amplifier/driver
• LIN communication with BCM/ETACS (except EN, VQ ; CAN communication)

The LF antenna amplifier/driver generates a 125 kHz sinusoidal carrier signal which is
distributed to the different antennas.
The signal is 100%-ASK modulated by switching on and off the carrier (the data is
Manchester encoded). The power of the carrier is adjustable by software, which means,
it is possible to set the power level of the antenna driver for every LF-telegram (e.g.
power level stored in the EEPROM).
The LF antenna driver consists of a number of outputs with different switching features.
1. switch on/off driver door handle antenna
2. switch on/off passenger door handle antenna
3. switch on/off bumper antenna for access to the trunk
4. switch on/off interior antennae
5. switch on/off trunk antenna (except SUV)

The SMK ECU comprises:
• the electronics described above
• a plastic housing
Emitting LF Antennas:
Inductive antennas in and at the vehicle are used to transform the current, driven by the SMK ECU
antenna driver, into a 125 kHz magnetic field, which is the carrier for the SMART KEY challenge.
Three antennas cover the vehicle’s exterior: two antennas in the Door Handles (DS and PS) cover
the area around the doors; one antenna in the rear bumper covers the area around the trunk/tailgate.
Up to three antennas cover the vehicle’s interior and the trunk interior: two in the passenger
compartment and one in the trunk. (In case of SUV, Three antennas cover the vehicle’s interior and
no trunk antenna)
Those antennas are based on either Vitrovac™ or ferrite core and have twisted pair terminals on
standard pin header.
