Tire air pressure detection system
First Claim
1. A tire air pressure detection system having:
- a transmitter provided at each of a plurality of wheels provided with tires and sending out a detection signal corresponding to the air pressure of the tire attached to the corresponding wheel and a receiver provided at the chassis side and provided with first antennas arranged near said transmitters of said plurality of wheels and a first controller receiving detection signals through the first antennas and finding the air pressures of said tires provided at said plurality of wheels based on said detection signals, wherein said receiver is designed so that said first controller measures the strength of each said detection signal, sets a power control signal in accordance with that strength, then sends the power control signal to the transmitter originating said detection signal, and each transmitter is provided with a second antenna receiving its corresponding power control signal and a second controller controlling a transmission power for sending said detection signal based on said received power control signal.
