- Remote Function Actuator (RFA) systems are widely used as the standard solution for conveniently accessing vehicles by remote control. To accelerate product development cycles and reduce engineering costs of physical test, a computer aided engineering (CAE) method has been developed to predict transmission range of the RFA system. Firstly, the detailed computational electromagnetic (CEM) models of the transmitting and receiving antennas were developed. Secondly, the articulated human model and the full vehicle meshed model were introduced to the CEM models to reflect the physical test environment. Lastly, the RFA system range model was built by including both the key fob held by an articulated human body and RFA module installed in the fully meshed vehicle. The transmission range could be extracted when the simulated received power reached the receiving sensitivity of the RFA module.
