Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] In general terms, the present invention relates to tire electronics assemblies for communicating various tire identifying information and / or selected physical state measurements of the tire. More specifically, the subject tire electronics assembly utilizes a modified antenna structure that enables efficient signal propagation at multiple frequency levels. This multi-frequency antenna structure can be designed with improved mechanical strength and general communication capability. Background of the invention
[0002] The combination of pneumatic tire construction and electronics yields many practical benefits. Tire electronics may include sensors and other components to communicate tire identification parameters as well as obtain information about various physical parameters of the tire, such as temperature, pressure, tire revolutions, and vehicle speed, among others. This performance information is very useful for tire monitoring and warning systems,...
