Abstract
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is provided. The TPMS includes: a plurality of sensors which output sensing signals, the plurality of sensors including a printable pressure sensor which senses an air pressure of a tire, and a temperature sensor which senses an air temperature inside the tire; a signal processor which is configured to process the sensing signals output by the plurality of sensors; a wireless power receiver which is configured to receive energy from a power source and output power; and a rechargeable battery which is configured to be charged by the power output by the wireless receiver and supply power to the plurality of sensors to sense the air pressure of the tire and the air temperature inside the tire.
