Claim:
A transponder arrangement for mounting on an inner wall surface of a tire, the transponder arrangement comprising: a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface defining a predetermined area; a transponder including a transponder chip and a transponder antenna embedded in said substrate; a strip of material having first and second longitudinal ends and an overall area so as to permit said substrate to lie entirely on said strip of material; said strip having a first portion defining said first longitudinal end and a second portion defining said second longitudinal end; said second portion having a middle tab so as to have leg segments on respective sides thereof; said first portion and said leg segments of said second portion being fixedly connected to said inner wall surface of said tire; said middle tab being clear of and unattached to said inner wall surface of said tire; said substrate having a clear-through opening formed therein through which said middle tab passes from below said substrate; and, said middle tab being releasably connected to said substrate at said upper surface thereof so as to enable said substrate to lie on said first portion and said leg segments thereby avoiding a direct contact of said substrate with said inner wall surface of said tire.
