Antenna Embedded Door Handle for Smart Key System

It is necessary for a door handle for the smart-key system to adapt for various door handle structures. The smart-key door handle, of course, should have competitiveness. For developing the next generation of the smart-key door handle, we considered that compact sizing and easy manufacturing are the key issues. Therefore, we tried to use the wire harness as an antenna and a sensor for the smart-key system. Moreover, the bending-forming method has been developed to achieve this idea. We will introduce the development process with the commitment to improve commercial value exampling the smart-key door handle development.
