Abstract :
The design of a double-loop antenna operating at two distinct frequencies is presented for wireless tyre pressure monitoring systems. The radiation properties of the printed antenna, placed inside the wheel and with the tyre rubber, are discussed as well as the performance in terms of gain and power handling.
