Abstract

The proposed device is fitted on vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires and is used for monitoring tire pressure. The device comprises: a pressure measurement sensor on each of the wheels (2) being monitored; a transmitter mounted next to each pressure measurement sensor which emits signals carrying the pressure data obtained from the pressure measurement sensor, and a receiver for those signals fitted on the vehicle chassis. An antenna (5a, 6a, 7a, 8a) is arranged next to each wheel (2) as the receiver. The antennae are connected to a common receiving and monitoring circuit (15, 17).
