A tire information detecting apparatus includes an interrogator which
transmits an interrogation signal toward a tire in a vehicle at a
transmitting timing, and receives a reply signal including tire
information at a receiving timing so as to process the signals. A
responder is disposed in the tire and has a sensor excited by a
predetermined frequency signal for detecting tire information so as to
return the reply signal to the interrogator at the receiving timing in
responding to the interrogation signal. A mixer unit receives the
interrogation signal having a first signal and a second signal which is
spaced the predetermined frequency away from the first signal, from the
interrogator, and outputs a signal of the frequency difference between
the two signals to the responder by mixing the first and second signals.
