Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tire with a built-in antenna includes a radio wave transmissive resin filled in the tire and an antenna arranged in the radio wave transmissive resin, and the antenna transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with a ground surface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A tire with a built-in antenna, comprising: a radio wave transmissive resin filled in the tire; and an antenna arranged in the radio wave transmissive resin, wherein the antenna transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with a ground surface. 2. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna receives a reflected wave of the radar wave when the antenna surface comes into contact with the ground surface. 3. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the tire comprises a metal spoke. 4. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the radio wave transmissive resin is filled in an outer region of an interior of the tire, and a radio wave absorbing resin is filled in an inner region of the interior of the tire, and the antenna is arranged at a boundary between the radio wave transmissive resin and the radio wave absorbing resin or in the radio wave transmissive resin. 5. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 1 , comprising: a plurality of the antennas, wherein each of the plurality of the antennas transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with the ground surface. 6. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the tire is used for a ground penetrating radar apparatus. 7. A tire with a built-in antenna, comprising a transmission tire and a reception tire, wherein the transmission tire and the reception tire are arranged adjacent to each other in parallel and are filled with a radio wave transmissive resin, the transmission tire includes a transmission antenna arranged in the radio wave transmissive resin, the transmission antenna transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the transmission tire facing a radiation surface of the transmission antenna comes into contact with a ground surface, the reception tire includes a reception antenna arranged in the radio wave transmissive resin, and the reception antenna receives a reflected wave of the radar wave when an antenna surface of the reception tire facing a radiation surface of the reception antenna comes into contact with the ground surface. 8. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 2 , wherein the tire comprises a metal spoke. 9. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 2 , wherein the radio wave transmissive resin is filled in an outer region of an interior of the tire, and a radio wave absorbing resin is filled in an inner region of the interior of the tire, and the antenna is arranged at a boundary between the radio wave transmissive resin and the radio wave absorbing resin or in the radio wave transmissive resin. 10. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 3 , wherein the radio wave transmissive resin is filled in an outer region of an interior of the tire, and a radio wave absorbing resin is filled in an inner region of the interior of the tire, and the antenna is arranged at a boundary between the radio wave transmissive resin and the radio wave absorbing resin or in the radio wave transmissive resin. 11. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 2 , comprising: a plurality of the antennas, wherein each of the plurality of the antennas transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with the ground surface. 12. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 3 , comprising: a plurality of the antennas, wherein each of the plurality of the antennas transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with the ground surface. 13. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 4 , comprising: a plurality of the antennas, wherein each of the plurality of the antennas transmits a radar wave when an antenna surface of the tire facing a radiation surface of the antenna comes into contact with the ground surface. 14. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 2 , wherein the tire is used for a ground penetrating radar apparatus. 15. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 3 , wherein the tire is used for a ground penetrating radar apparatus. 16. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 4 , wherein the tire is used for a ground penetrating radar apparatus. 17. The tire with a built-in antenna according to claim 5 , wherein the tire is used for a ground penetrating radar apparatus.
