Abstract
A tire condition sensor unit (e.g.,A) is for use within a tire condition communication system (). The sensor unit (e.g.,A) is for association with a tire (e.g.,A) of a vehicle () and, via a method, communicates a tire condition to a vehicle-based unit (). A sensor () senses the tire condition. Radio frequency transmit circuitry and an antenna (and) transmit a radio frequency signal (e.g.,A) that indicates the sensed tire condition. In one aspect, a low frequency antenna and a signal detector (and) receive a low frequency initiation signal that causes transmission of the radio frequency signal indicative of the sensed tire condition. In another aspect, the radio frequency signal is also indicative of a fixed identification.
