Patent ID: 6959596

Claim:
Installation ( 12 ) for measuring the pressure of at least one tire of a wheel ( 16 , 24 ) of an airplane ( 10 ), comprising: at least one pressure measuring sensor ( 26 ) associated with a tire; a unit ( 30 ) operating on the pressure measurement, provided in the airplane ( 10 ); and radio-frequency transmission means comprising on the one hand, for the at least one pressure measuring sensor, a revolving antenna ( 28 ) borne by the wheel ( 16 , 24 ) and connected to the at least one pressure measuring sensor ( 26 ) and, on the other hand, a fixed antenna ( 34 ; 134 ) connected by a conductive cable ( 32 ) to the unit ( 30 ) operating on the pressure measurement, characterized in that the fixed antenna ( 34 ; 134 ) is adapted to be carried by the structure of the airplane at a spacing from each wheel ( 16 , 24 ) at least in an upper part of the shock strut ( 18 , 20 ; 122 ) of a landing gear element ( 14 , 20 ) carrying the wheel.
