Detailed Description

Many well known fabrication steps, components and connectors have been omitted or not described in detail in this description so as not to obscure the present invention.

FIG. 1 depicts the noise path caused by the automobile engine and electronic components, the length of the rod antenna 100 is typically in the range of 10 centimeters 80 centimeters (cm). the rod antenna 100 is mounted on the roof of a vehicle.

The motor 104 may be powered by a battery. This conversion also generates an electromagnetic field when the DC voltage is converted to a variable AC voltage to drive the vehicle drive train. These electromagnetic fields induce currents and voltages in the chassis and roof of the vehicle. Since the roof is part of the antenna 100, the induced interference is coupled to the antenna feed port. As depicted, the noise current path 102 passes through the roof and chassis and may interfere with radio reception received via the antenna 100.

FIG. 2 shows a jamming sensor 200. the jamming sensor 200 includes an th conductive plate 202 and a second conductive plate 204 separated from each other by a distance D. non-conductive material or air may be present between the th conductive plate 202 and the second conductive plate 204. the jamming sensor 200 also includes a sensor coil 206, the sensor coil 206 being powered by the electromagnetic field captured by the th conductive plate 202 and the second conductive plate 204 and directly capturing radio interference.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of sensor coil 206 in some embodiments sensor coil 206 includes only directional coils, e.g., a coil in only the X direction in another example, sensor coil 206 may include coils in the X and Y directions.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of placement of the jamming sensors 200 or 220 in the vehicle 300. the jamming sensors 200 or 220 are placed at where reception of the broadcast signal is minimal, such as inside the vehicle 300, and where the jamming is related to the interference received by the antenna 100. the chassis of the vehicle 300 creates a Faraday cage and therefore broadcast signal inside the vehicle 300 is minimal. as depicted, or more jamming sensors 200 or 220 may be placed inside the vehicle 300, above the driver's seat.

FIG. 6 shows a noise cancellation circuit 400, noise cancellation circuit 400 includes an interference sensor 200, in some embodiments, an interference sensor 220 may also be used, as discussed in FIG. 5, interference sensor 200 may be mounted in a vehicle where a minimum amount of broadcast signals are present, interference sensor 200 is mounted coupled to a chassis of the vehicle, interference captured by interference sensor 200 is amplified by a low noise amplifier 408, and the amplified signal is input to a phase and amplitude converter 406 controlled by signal processor 402, phase and amplitude converter 406 is configured to generate a signal that is correlated with and similar in amplitude to the signal from the antenna after amplification by low noise amplifier 406.

Returning to FIG. 5, the disturbance sensor 304 is mounted proximate to the chassis of the vehicle 300 and is capacitively coupled to the chassis. The interference field induces a voltage between the plates 202 and 204 due to the orientation of the electric field vector. The field-to-voltage conversion function may be defined as follows:

D is the distance between the plates

Cs is the capacity formed by two plates

Camp ═ capacity of amplifier connected to sensor

ε r ═ dielectric constant of substrate between two plates
