  • Patent number: 7961015
    Abstract: The transceiver features a fast de-excitation circuit, by means of which the transceiver can be very quickly de-energized or de-excited after sending of signals. The fast de-excitation circuit can be realized in the simplest case as a controllable switch with series-connected resistor. The transceiver is thus ready to receive signals again very fast, i.e. in the range of a few oscillation periods. With bidirectional data communication between transceiver and transponder the danger of malfunctions is avoided or at least reduced to a minimum level.

  • Patent number: 7504935
    Abstract: A transponder has a transponder tuned circuit, an energy store or energy supply and a starter device. The transponder tuned circuit has a tuned circuit capacitor and a tuned circuit coil with an inductive coupling to a base station for inductive energy and/or data transmission. On transmission the energy store provides a discharge current Ice. The starter device is arranged between the transponder tuned circuit and the energy store such as to generate an adjustable reference voltage Uref, which, on transmission, controls the transmission voltage Us-TSK such that an envelope curve H for the transmission voltage Us-TSK is constant over a transmission duration ts, giving a constant discharge current Ice from the energy store to supply the transponder tuned circuit and a discharge voltage Uce dependent on the reference voltage Uref for the energy store falls linearly to the reference voltage Uref at a transmission end tE.

  • Publication number: 20050163063
    Abstract: A method for operating a tire pressure measuring system uses a transceiver. When triggered, the transceiver transmits an energy signal to a transponder in a tire that then responds with a data signal. So that the energy signals do not interfere with other transceivers on receipt of the data signals, the method makes provision for the repetition rate with which the energy signals are triggered to be a function of the speed of the vehicle. Transmission is more frequent at higher speed than at lower speed.
