Method for obtaining information about tires on a vehicle includes
arranging a tire monitor on each tire, arranging an interrogator on the
vehicle, arranging antennas on the vehicle, each antenna being spaced
apart from one another and associated with some tires and further being
spaced different distances from the tire monitors on the associated
tires, wirelessly transmitting initiation signals from the interrogator
to each tire monitor through the antennas to cause each tire monitor to
provide signals containing information about one or more properties of
the tire on which the tire monitor is arranged, receiving the signals
provided by the tire monitors at the antennas, directing the signals from
the antennas to the interrogator, and determining a location of each tire
monitor and thus a location of a tire on which the tire monitor is
arranged by analyzing the signals provided by each tire monitor.
