Automobile safety concerns are increasing worldwide and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has proven to be a very effective way of reducing single car accidents caused by insufficient tyre pressure. Here, Nicolas Henriet, Senior RF Engineer, Sensata Technologies, describes how the company used high frequency software to enhance the design process and optimise its TPMS performance. 

Medical devices are often smaller and lighter in weight than the vast majority of applications that require some type of motion control, simply because they are often portable/mobile, hand-carried or lifted. Internal components needed for these devices are chosen carefully in order to make for the smallest overall device footprint. This poses unique challenges to component manufacturers supplying the medical market.
