The RDC aerial is a component of the Tire Pressure Monitor (RDC). The RDC aerial receives the high-frequency radio signals of the 4 wheel electronics systems. The measured values are sent either on request (cyclical, every 54 seconds) or automatically in the event of a breakdown (once per second) by the wheel electronics system. At temperature values greater than 120 °C within the tire, the wheel electronics system is switched off; on cooling down to below 110 °C, it is switched on again.
The received radio signal are converted into a digital signal in the RDC aerial. This digital signal is forwarded on the bus to the RDC control unit.
