Abstract

An on-board unit includes at least one receiving and transmitting antenna for a bidirectional transmission of data which works in accordance with the transponder method. To compensate for interference fading, a high-frequency amplifier is connected in an incoming circuit to the demodulator/modulator, through which the transmission range of the transmission distance is improved as well. The same amplifier and the demodulator/modulator can be used in downlink and uplink operation. In uplink operation, the demodulator/modulator can alternatively subject the carrier signal to amplitude shift keying or phase shift keying.
