Tire Pressure Monitoring Antenna Layout for Reflection-Robust Reception

The patent transitions from a single-dimension reception approach to a three-dimensional spatial reception system by deploying multiple antennas at different locations (exterior and interior of vehicle) and processing signals from multiple spatial dimensions. This dimensional expansion allows the system to capture reflected high-frequency signals from different paths and reconstruct reliable data despite reflections.

The control device acts as an intermediary that receives signals from multiple antennas, processes the reflected high-frequency signals through correlation processing, and reconstructs reliable tire pressure data. The intermediary processes the harmful reflections rather than simply blocking them, converting the reflected signals into useful information.

The system uses a single control device that performs multiple functions: it receives signals from multiple antennas, processes the signals through correlation algorithms, determines tire pressure data, and handles both direct and reflected signal paths. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into one processing unit rather than requiring separate systems for each function.

The patent combines multiple antenna reception systems into a unified processing framework where signals from both exterior and interior antennas are merged and processed together through correlation processing. This merging allows the system to leverage signals from multiple paths while maintaining a single coherent processing architecture.
