  • Publication number: 20090085733
    Abstract: The tire pressure, speed and acceleration monitoring system of the present invention has a transducer mounted to the wheel of a motor vehicle and a controller mounted to a non-rotating part of the vehicle. The transducer is passive and receives its power from an interrogation signal from the controller. The transducer replies with a pressure signal. The tire pressure may be frequency encoded. This is accomplished by having a resonant circuit whose resonant frequency depends on the tire pressure. Speed and acceleration are calculated by determining when the transducer passes the receiver of the controller. Since the range of the transducer is very limited, the transducer will only respond to an interrogation signal when the transducer is next to the controller receiver. The transducer has a tire pressure fill valve.
