Landing gear equipped with a device for communication between a wheel and the landing gear

摘要

The gear has a communication device connecting a pressure sensor (6) mounted on a rim (3) of a wheel (2) to a processing unit mounted on an aircraft. The device has an antenna (8) integrated to the sensor, where the antenna rotates with the wheel. The device has a fixed antenna (10) extending an end of an axle (1) and connected to the unit. The antennas are in Hertzian communication across a cowl (20) integrated to the wheel and covering the end of the axle, where the cowl is made of non conducting material. The device has printed radiating elements (13) placed around an end of the rim.
