Abstract: A sensor transceiver transitions into a first state that is capable of receiving RF waves intermittently. Upon starting to receive a burst signal on RF waves from a vehicle-body system under the first state, the sensor transceiver transitions into a second state that is capable of receiving RF waves continuously. Upon receiving a request signal on RF waves from the vehicle-body system under the second state, the sensor transceiver transmits data on tire pressure to the vehicle-body system.

Abstract: In a distance estimating system, a first terminal transmits a response request signal and successively transmits impulse signals as synchronization signals, and a second terminal receives the response request signal, generates response data based on the response request signal, shifts a bit, which is a transmission target in a bit string as the response data, by one toward a rear side from a leading bit to a trailing bit each time the synchronization signal is received, transmits the impulse signal in a case where a value of a bit that is a transmission target at a time of reception of the synchronization signal is a predetermined value. The first terminal further measures a round-trip time, specifies a flight time of the impulse signal, and estimates a distance to the second terminal based on the flight time and a propagation velocity of the impulse signal.

Abstract: A sensor transceiver is kept in a state capable of receiving LF waves. Upon receiving LF waves indicating a start command from the vehicle-body system, the sensor transceiver is caused to be in a state capable of receiving RF waves accordingly. Upon receiving an instruction command from the vehicle-body system under the state capable of receiving RF waves, the sensor transceiver notifies the vehicle-body system of data on tire pressure.
