Abstract :
A diversity TPM receiving antenna system based on signal strength is described in this study. Two distinct antennas, located on the side windows of the vehicle are utilized in a diversity setting. Typically, the signals form the most distant sensor to the receiving antenna degrades most and becomes problematic for further processing. The proposed scheme overcomes poor signal reception in such cases and can be implemented in a cost-effective way if combined in an FM diversity system
