A method and system for locating tires is disclosed. According to the
invention, an RFID reader antenna is positioned at a predetermined
location such that the distances between the reader antenna and the tires
are different. Each tire embeds at least one RFID tag. The distance
between the reader antenna and each RFID tag is determined by measuring
the delay required for the signal to be reflected by the RFID tag. Since
all the distances between the reader antenna and the RFID tags are
predetermined, knowing the distance between the reader antenna and a
particular RFID tag allows the determination of the position of the
particular RFID tag and of the tire.
