Abstract

See full text

A switching apparatus alternately connects a mobile radio module and an E-Call controller to an antenna/ The switching apparatus includes a first signal input, a second signal input, an antenna connection and a changeover device that changes between a first switching state and a second switching state, based on at least one switching signal. In the first switching state, only the first signal input is electrically connected to the antenna connection, and in the second switching state, only the second signal input is electrically connected to the antenna connection. To prevent a connected transmission devices from diagnosing decoupling from the antenna connection as a fault, in at least the second switching state the changeover device electrically connects the signal input that is decoupled from the antenna connection to a terminating device which emulates an antenna at the signal input that is connected to the terminating device.
