Zusammenfassung:An integrated tire sensor and reader system (10) is disclosed. The system (10) comprises at least one sensor unit (12) mounted on at least one of a tire (16) and a wheel (30) and a reader or receiver (14) disposed remotely from the at least one sensor unit (12). The at least one sensor unit (12) includes at least one sensor (36) for measuring a parameter of the tire (16) or wheel (30), and an antenna (38) for communicating with the reader or receiver (14). The at least one sensor unit (12) is configured to receive a radio frequency power signal from the reader or receiver (14) and to transmit data to the reader or receiver (14). The reader or receiver (14) includes an antenna (56) for transmitting the radio frequency power signal to the at least one sensor unit (12) to actuate the at least one sensor unit (12). Upon actuation of the at least one sensor unit (12), the at least one sensor (36) measures the parameter of the tire (16) or wheel (30), and data from the at least one sensor (36) is transmitted from the at least one sensor unit (12) to the reader or receiver (14).
