Abstract

A system is provided for dynamically reading data from a tire transponder that includes a linear-polarization antenna. The system includes one ore more system antennas and one or more readers. Each system antenna is able to receive data transmitted by the tire transponder. Each reader is able to couple to the one or more antennas to read and store the data from the tire transponder. Each system antenna is a linear-polarization antenna with a vertical electric field.

Claims (19)

1. A system for dynamically reading data from a transponder of a tire of a vehicle, the system comprising:

at least one system antenna able to receive data transmitted by the transponder; and

at least one reader able to couple to the at least one system antenna to read and store the data from the transponder,

wherein each system antenna is a linear-polarization antenna with a vertical electric field.

2. The reading system according to claim 1 , wherein each system antenna has a gain equal to or less than 6 dBi.

3. The reading system according to claim 2 , wherein, a maximum power that may be conducted through each system antenna is 30 dBm.

4. The reading system according to claim 1 , wherein the transponder is a UHF RFID transponder in which is registered a unique identification number of the tire.

5. A system for dynamically reading data from a transponder of a tire of a vehicle, the system comprising:

at least two system antennas able to receive data transmitted by the transponder, the system antennas being linear-polarization antennas with a vertical electric field, the linear-polarization antennas being offset relative to one another in a direction of rolling of the tire by a distance of less than 1.20 m; and

at least one reader able to couple to the system antennas to read and store the data from the transponder.

6. The reading system according to claim 5 , wherein the linear-polarization antennas are disposed substantially at a height of an axis of rotation of the tire.

7. The reading system according to claim 5 , wherein the linear-polarization antennas are operated alternately.

8. The reading system according to claim 5 , wherein the linear-polarization antennas are linked to a same reader of the at least one reader.

9. A portal for obtaining data from vehicles, the portal comprising a reading system for dynamically reading data from transponders of the vehicles, the reading system including:

at least one system antenna able to receive, for each vehicle of the vehicles, data transmitted by a transponder of the vehicle; and

at least one reader able to couple to the at least one system antenna to read and store the data from the transponder of the vehicle,

wherein each system antenna is a linear-polarization antenna with a vertical electric field,

wherein the reading system is disposed along a travel path of the vehicles, and

wherein the reading system is positioned on a first side or a second side of the travel path.
