Arrangement for providing a boosted signal from a signal-generating
device, such as a SAW device or an RFID tag, including an antenna and a
circulator having a first port connected to the antenna to receive a
signal therefrom and a second port connectable to the device to provide a
signal thereto and receive a signal therefrom. The circulator amplifies
the signal from the antenna and the signal received from the device such
that a twice-amplified signal is directed to the antenna. A receiving and
processing module transmits a signal to the antenna causing the antenna
to generate its signal and receive a signal from the antenna derived from
the twice-amplified signal. Various pumping systems for vehicle tires and
electricity generating systems which generate energy upon rotation of a
tire are also disclosed.
