Abstract

A wireless rotating signal transducer. A control circuit is provided for transferring power and communication signals through a wireless coupling device (56) in a vehicle steering column. A squib firing circuit (62) transforms a high energy power signal suitable for firing an air-bag (46) from the column side to the wheel side. A low energy power circuit (54) generates a signal from the column side to the wheel side suitable for operating isolated wheel side electronics, such as cruise control, and the like. A pulse-encoder circuit (104) communicates low-level control signals suitable for signalling wheel-side commands from the wheel side to the column side. The low energy power circuit (54) and pulse circuit (104) operate simultaneously and continuously without signal debilitating interaction.
