There are several system setups possible. For RAD (relay attack defense) function 4 UWBtrx22 transceivers are in the rear and front bumpers. Example schematic For CoSmA (Continental Smartphone based Access) functionality additional 2 to 4 UWBBLE22 are mounted in the headliner of the car. Typically, half of the transceivers are equipped also with BLE (UWB+BLE). Page 4 of 31 User Manual Audi AG - UWBtrx22 and UWBBLE22 Example schematic BLUE: UWB-Only, BLUE/RED: UWB+BLE They are all connected to a central control unit via CAN interface. The BLE link is used for data exchange between the car and the smartphone or key fob whereas the UWB link is for position detection between them. The system includes at least one smartphone with UWB and BLE functionality and one key fob with the same features.

The learned smart phone is in BLE range and detected. The BLE connection is active (BLE ADV switched off). Check digital key ok. BLE authentification ok. Smartphone and UWB+BLE TRx switch UWB reception on. Smartphone sends one UWB data package to UWB+BLE TRx. UWB+BLE TRx sends UWB response to smartphone. UWB function switch off. 1.4.2 System Wake up with learned Key Fob The learned key fob is in 125kHz range and detected. Localization 125kHz and 434MHz authentification ok. Key fob and UWB+BLE TRx switch UWB reception on. Key fob sends one UWB data package to UWB+BLE TRx. UWB+BLE TRx sends UWB response to key fob. UWB function switch off. The distance is measured by ToF measurement TAG: smartphone or key fob Anchor: UWB+BLE/UWB-Only TRx Page 6 of 31 User Manual Audi AG - UWBtrx22 and UWBBLE22 with Key Fob with Smartphone Page 7 of 31 User Manual Audi AG - UWBtrx22 and UWBBLE22 1.5 Shutdown of the UWB system UWB packets may be exchanged when a device needs to be located to execute vehicle features or to establish driving readiness. Once the features execution was completed or driving readiness is established and the vehicle is moving at a certain speed, the UWB system gets inactive after a timeout. The UWB system is disabled in the following additional conditions:
Smartphone or key fob is out of range Smartphone or key fob is detected in range Car is in parking mode System is deactivated with diagnostic command Ignition is ON (any drive mode is active) 1.6 UWB duty cycle limiter To satisfy the EU EN302065-3-1 limits (see picture below) a duty cycle limiter is implemented in the product SW. Several frame counters make sure that frame transmission is muted in case the duty cycle limit would be violated. 1.7 Parts of Certification UWBBLE22 UWB+BLE V1 CAN Coding UWBtrx22 UWB-Only V2 CAN Coding Variants (placement options) Manufacturer:
Continental Automotive GmbH Siemensstrasse 12 93055 Regensburg Germany Page 8 of 31 User Manual Audi AG - UWBtrx22 and UWBBLE22 2 Features The UWB+BLE TRx stand-alone transceiver is a bidirectional BLE and UWB band RF transceiver with integrated antenna, private high-speed CAN communication interface and integrated 12/3V power supply. The electrical wiring of the applications (UWB+BLE and UWB-Only) is optimized for the application in electric vehicles. A corresponding wiring cares for the necessary protection against high voltage overload. In addition, a protective wiring protects the HF-path at the antenna base against ESD-
damage. The output emitted by the transceiver is configurable and calibrated in the final production test. The transceivers are permanently connected to VBatt +12V. If the TRx are deactivated, it's switched to stand-by mode without any reception and transmitting functionality. 2.1 TRX Radio Device Class BLE - low power mid range device for BLE communication with mobile devices.
