1. A system comprising:
- a wheel;
a hubcap coupled to the wheel;
a tire pressure sensor coupled to the wheel;
a brake control unit (BCU); and
an active hubcap circuit coupled to the hubcap, electrically coupled to the tire pressure sensor and the BCU and configured to receive an input signal from at least one of the tire pressure sensor or the BCU, generate an output signal by increasing a signal to noise ratio of the input signal and output the output signal to at least one of the BCU or the tire pressure sensor.

Abstract
A system includes a wheel, a hubcap coupled to the wheel and a tire pressure sensor coupled to the wheel. The system also includes a brake control unit (BCU) and an active hubcap circuit coupled to the hubcap. The active hubcap circuit is electrically coupled to the tire pressure sensor and the BCU and configured to receive an input signal from at least one of the tire pressure sensor or the BCU, generate an output signal by increasing a signal to noise ratio of the input signal and output the output signal to at least one of the BCU or the tire pressure sensor.
