With these, the tire pressure can be read out in every phase of driving. We show the implemented prototype setup for measurement

Experimental results measuring the tire pressure during test rides are presented.INTRODUCTIONOperating a road vehicle, a malfunction of the tires in moti

Usually it only costs weight and space, therefore it yields a higher fuel consumption,although it will be required less than one time in
5、 more than ten years of a cars life. This only can be done, if the air pressure in the tires can be measured even during driving. Currently used sensors contain active components, powered by a Lithium battery. The mass of these sensor assemblies is about 20 grams causing high dynamic load. A few yea

Using an one port SAW delay line connected to an antenna only,an RF interrogation signal is fed into and the sensor response,carrying thesensor information is retransmitted wirelessly to the interrogator. These

They withstand temperatures up to several hundreds of degree centigrades, their lifet
