Antenna Control Module: Description and Operation
MODULE - ANTENNADESCRIPTION
The antenna module is an electromagnetic circuit component designed to capture and enhance RF (Radio Frequency) signals in both the AM and FM broadcast bands. The antenna module is mounted to the right rear roof rail under the headliner. The mounting brackets also serve as the ground circuit. The antenna module has a two wire electrical connector that connects to the integral radio antenna, located on the right rear quarter glass. A connector for the radio coax cable and battery voltage are on the top of the antenna module.
OPERATION
The antenna module receives both AM and FM radio signals supplied by the side window integral radio antenna system and selectively amplifies them while at the same time avoiding unusable or unwanted signals. The amplified signal is then sent through the body length coax cable to the radio input.
