Installation for measuring pressure of at least one aeroplane wheel tire
First Claim
1. Installation (12) for measuring the pressure of at least one tire of a wheel (16, 24) of an airplane (10), comprising:
- at least one pressure measuring sensor (26) associated with a tire;
a unit (30) operating on the pressure measurement, provided in the airplane (10); and
radio-frequency transmission means comprising on the one hand, for the at least one pressure measuring sensor, a revolving antenna (28) borne by the wheel (16, 24) and connected to the at least one pressure measuring sensor (26) and, on the other hand, a fixed antenna (34;
134) connected by a conductive cable (32) to the unit (30) operating on the pressure measurement, characterized in that the fixed antenna (34;
134) is adapted to be carried by the structure of the airplane at a spacing from each wheel (16, 24) at least in an upper part of the shock strut (18, 20;
122) of a landing gear element (14, 20) carrying the wheel.

Abstract
An installation for measuring the pressure of at least one tire of a wheel of an aeroplane includes: at least a pressure measuring sensor associated with a tire; a unit operating on the pressure measurement provided in the aeroplane; and radio-frequency transmission elements including for the or each sensor, a revolving antenna borne by the wheel and connected to each measuring sensor and to a fixed antenna connected by a conductive cable to the unit operating on the pressure measurement. The fixed antenna is adapted to be borne by the aeroplane structure away from the or each wheel at least in an upper part of the shock strut of the landing gear bearing the wheel.
