Abstract

A sensor arrangement for monitoring a physical parameter in a given environment, such as a tire or wheel arrangement, comprising an improved interface between sensor components. The sensor device includes a piezoelectric substrate on which a resonator element, such as a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator, is disposed. The resonators are configured to produce an electrical output within a predetermined range of resonator frequencies that can be monitored to determine information such as pressure and temperature to which the devices are exposed. Protrusions are formed on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate which selectively contact recessed surface areas within the flexible cover housing member. The cover housing component and rigid base assembly combine to form a closed enclosure for the sensor device. An antenna may be incorporated into the sensor device to facilitate receiving and / or transmitting communication signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices for sensing physical parameters such as pressure and / or temperature related to the environment surrounding a tire or wheel. In particular, an improved interface between individual pressure sensing diaphragms and the internal sensor assembly of such a SAW device is provided. Background technique [0002] The combination of electronics and pneumatic tires yields many practical advantages. The tire electronics includes sensors and other components for obtaining information on different physical parameters of the tire, such as temperature, pressure, number of tire revolutions, vehicle speed, and so on. Information of these properties is useful in tire monitoring and warning systems, and could potentially even be employed by feedback systems to adjust appropriate tire pressure levels. [0003] One particular type of condition-responsive device that has been used to determine di...
