Abstract
A SAW based tire pressure sensor assembly comprising a body having a tubular studformed on an end thereof which is engageable in an inflation tube formed in a tire inflation valveso as to fasten the body to the valve. A through passage extends through the studinto said body and is in fluid communication with the atmosphere surrounding the assembly by means of aperturesin the sides of the body, thereby providing a fluid coupling between an inflation duct of the inflation valveand the atmosphere surrounding the body. A SAW based pressure sensor is mounted within said body so as to be in fluid communication with the atmosphere surrounding the body, and an antennais connected to the sensor to enable remote interaction therewith. A grounding plateconnected to the antenna is sandwiched between the assembly and has arms which engage against the inner surface of the wheel so as to enhance the sensor antenna earth.
