Reception antenna of tire pressure monitoring system using radiating leakage coaxial cable
First Claim
1. A reception antenna of a tire pressure monitoring system, the system having a sensor for measuring internal temperature and pressure of at least one tire, a transmitter for modulating data measured by the sensor into data in an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band, and transmitting the modulated data to an outside of the tire in a wireless manner, a receiver for receiving the measured data transmitted from the transmitter in a wireless manner, and a display unit for displaying the measured data received by the receiver on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen to allow a diver to monitor the measured data, wherein:
- the reception antenna is implemented using a cable-type antenna connected to the receiver, the cable-type antenna enabling a mounting position of the antenna to be freely changed and improving a reception rate for the measured data about the temperature and pressure of a tire, that is modulated into the data in the UHF band and transmitted to the outside of the tire in a wireless manner by the transmitter;
wherein the cable-type antenna comprises;
a radiating leakage coaxial cable, which has grooves formed at regular intervals in a corrugated outer conductor, which surrounds a dielectric, and thus operates in a wide frequency band so that the antenna receives the measured data at the tire by a wireless transmission from the transmitter while forming a gain pattern with sufficient intensity regardless of the mounting position of the antenna; and
a matching terminal for performing termination impedance matching when the radiating leakage coaxial cable receives the measured data.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a reception antenna structure of a tire pressure monitoring system. The reception antenna is implemented using a cable-type antenna connected to a receiver of the tire pressure monitoring system. The cable-type antenna enables a mounting position of the antenna to be freely changed and improves a reception rate for measured data about temperature and pressure of a tire, that is modulated into data in the UHF band and transmitted to the outside of the tire in a wireless manner by a transmitter. According to the present invention, the reception antenna of a tire pressure monitoring system is implemented using a radiating leakage coaxial cable so as to enable the position of the antenna to be freely changed, so that, when tire pressure data is measured by a temperature and pressure sensor included in the transmitter within the tire and then transmitted through a tire pressure monitoring transmitter in a wireless manner, the reception sensitivity for the measured data is improved, thus increasing the reliability of the data measured at the tire, and guaranteeing the stability of the tire on the basis of the reliability of the reception sensitivity for the measured data.
