Abstract
An information acquisition device is provided within a virtual plane including a coil axis of a coil-shaped antenna and having a perpendicular line orthogonal to an axis of rotation of a tire, such that the angle formed by the coil axis of the antenna relative to the tire rotational axis is within a range of 0° to 40°. The amount of attenuation of radio waves emitted from the antenna to the exterior of the tire is thereby reduced.
