A straddle type vehicle 1 having at least one reflecting portion 30 for reflecting a radar wave transmitted from a radar equipment. The reflecting portion 30 is provided on a cap member 40 mounted on a rear end portion 9b of an exhaust pipe 9, and the reflecting portion 30 is arranged below left and right tail lights 19 when viewed from a rear side of a vehicle body.

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a transmission power for a radio connection from at least one interior antenna of a motor vehicle to at least one radio device outside of the vehicle. At least one seat occupancy sensor of the motor vehicle signals seat occupancy of an associated vehicle seat by means of an associated occupancy signal. The transmission power at the at least one interior antenna is controlled in accordance with the occupancy signal. The disclosure further relates to a control device and to a motor vehicle having such a control device.

Disclosed is a lamp for a vehicle, including: at least one light source; an outer lens for covering the at least one light source; a housing coupled to the outer lens to form a space; and an antenna module disposed in the space and comprising at least one horn antenna for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves.

A communication system is disclosed. The system can include a first communication unit including a first antenna, a second communication unit including a second antenna and a dielectric waveguide cable, and a rotary joint configured to enable the first unit to rotate with respect to the second unit about an axis of rotation of the system. The dielectric waveguide cable can extend from the second antenna to the rotary joint, where a proximal end of the cable can be coupled to the second antenna and a distal end of the cable can be affixed to the second unit at a location bordering a space defined by the rotary joint. The first and second units can be configured to engage in two-way communication with each other. An axis of the distal end of the cable can be substantially aligned with the axis of rotation of the system.

Disclosed is an antenna module for a vehicle, which can perform wireless power transmission for a portable terminal equipped with a magnetic resonance wireless power transmission function and a portable terminal equipped with a magnetic induction wireless power transmission function in one module. The disclosed antenna module for the vehicle stacks a first antenna unit having a first antenna that is an antenna for the magnetic resonance wireless power transmission and near field communication on one surface of a base sheet, and a second antenna unit having a second antenna that is an antenna for the magnetic induction wireless power transmission on one surface of the first antenna unit; and the second antenna is partially overlapped with the first antenna.

A bidirectional antenna assembly includes a radiative assembly operatively connected to an antenna feed and at least one passive conductive element. The passive conductive element includes at least first and second planar conductive sheets, each which are substantially perpendicular to a plane passing through the connection of the radiative assembly to the antenna field and arranged at an angle greater than ninety degrees relative to one another. The passive conductive element interacts with the radiative assembly to provide a bidirectional radiation pattern.

A vehicle may include a roof, a glass mounted on a rear end portion of the roof and having a black coating region on a portion of the glass adjacent to the rear end portion of the roof, a rear rail mounted on a lower portion of the rear end portion of the roof, and an antenna mounted on the rear rail to be positioned below the black coating region.

An antenna includes an antenna substrate comprising a first end and a second end, and an antenna element attached to the antenna substrate. The antenna element is configured to receive communication signals within a partial hemispherical-shaped signal reception region oriented about the first end of the antenna substrate. A signal gain reduction portion is at least partially located between the antenna element and the second end of the antenna substrate, and is configured to reduce signal gain in an opposite partial hemispherical-shaped region oriented about the second end of the antenna substrate.

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a transmission power for a radio connection from at least one interior antenna of a motor vehicle to at least one radio device outside of the vehicle. At least one seat occupancy sensor of the motor vehicle signals seat occupancy of an associated vehicle seat by means of an associated occupancy signal. The transmission power at the at least one interior antenna is controlled in accordance with the occupancy signal. The disclosure further relates to a control device and to a motor vehicle having such a control device.

An in-vehicle light apparatus for a vehicle is provided and includes lamp radar units. The lamp unit includes a light source and a reflector arranged around the light source and outputting light from an opening area of the reflector to a predetermined region including in a first direction. The radar unit is provided on a lower or upper side of the lamp unit and includes a circuit board having a board surface arranged in a substantially horizontal state and an antenna unit that transmits an electromagnetic wave and receives a reflected wave in a second direction. The opening area extends in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction in plan view, and a direction perpendicular to the second direction on the board surface is a direction intersecting the first direction and non-parallel to the third direction.
