Hands-free Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) is quickly becoming mainstream in automotive remote keyless entry applications and is a common option on new automobile models. Instead of pressing a transmitter button to unlock or lock a car door, it is possible to gain vehicle access simply having a valid transponder in your possession. Hands-free PKE applications require bidirectional communication between the base station and transponder units. The base unit inside the vehicle transmits a Low-Frequency (LF) command that searches for a transponder in the field. Once located, the transponder in the vehicle owner?s possession then automatically responds to the base unit. The base unit then unlocks the car doors, if a valid authentication response is received.
