Application Note SAW-Components Matching of EPCOS front-end SAW filters to integrated RKE receivers App. Note #18 Abstract: Surface Acoustic Wave filters are crucial to improve the performance of Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) applications. The design of the front-end of RKE receivers is discussed and matching examples are given.

Box 801709 SAW Components Matching of EPCOS front-end SAW filters to integrated RKE receivers Introduction For RKE systems “single-chip” receivers and “single-chip” transceivers are used. For the matching proposals we take the TDA520x series from INFINEON and the ATA572x series from ATMEL as example. To improve the selectivity and the image frequency rejection of the system a SAW front-end filter should be placed between antenna and the receiver. Furthermore, the problem of receiver blocking by powerful out-of-band interfering signals is strongly reduced. Narrow-band front-end SAW filters are available for all frequency ranges in use. The front-end of RKE receivers The basic structure of a receiver or of the receive path of a transceiver is realised with a “superheterodyne approach”, built of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a mixer. Depending on the receiver integrated circuit (Rx IC) the frequency of the local oscillator LO is defined in such a way that the output signal of the mixer has an intermediate frequency of some MHz or a few hundred kHz. This intermediate signal can be handled by the demodulator. A typical front-end of a RKE system is shown in Figure 1: Figure 1: Front-end of a RKE receiver path A SAW filter off
