    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed and include receiving, at a plurality of azimuth angles, a signal via a first communication channel and a second signal via a second communication channel. The method includes determining a plurality of first and second communication channel phase angle differences of the antenna system that each correspond to one of the plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes generating a first reference curve and a second reference curve based on the plurality of first and second communication channel phase angle differences, respectively. The method includes determining a first set and a second set of phase difference limits, and for each set, the method includes: identifying a minimum and maximum capping region; determining a minimum phase difference limit based on a central location of the minimum capping region; and determining a maximum phase difference limit based on a central location of the maximum capping region.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed and include receiving a signal via a first communication channel at a plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes determining a plurality of first communication channel phase angle differences between a pair of antennas. The method includes receiving a second signal via a second communication channel and at the plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes determining a plurality of second communication channel phase angle differences between the pair of antennas that each correspond to one of the plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes generating a first reference curve based on the plurality of first communication channel phase angle differences. The method includes generating a second reference curve based on the plurality of second communication channel phase angle differences. The method also includes generating a calibration curve that is based on an interpolation of the first reference curve and the second reference curve.

    Abstract: An access system for a vehicle includes a receiver and an access module. The receiver is configured to receive a signal transmitted from a portable access device to the vehicle. The access module is configured to: generate a differentiated signal based on the received signal; up-sample the differentiated signal to generate a first up-sampled signal; obtain or generate an expected signal; up-sample the expected signal to generate a second up-sampled signal; cross-correlate the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal to generate a cross-correlation signal; based on the cross-correlation signal, determine a phase difference between the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal; determine a round trip time of the signal received by the receiver; and permit access to the vehicle based on the round trip time.
