We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure monitoring",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Small antenna offers range boost from
Premo Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Premo RFID Z-axis antenna offers flexibility and adaptability while positioning the PCB at horizontal or vertical angles".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Receivers bring diversity to low-power radio from
Melexis: "Highly integrated RF receivers are specifically designed for low-cost antenna diversity applications in the unlicensed ISM and SRD frequency bands".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Agilent Technologies Europe
concerning its TS-5040
- take a look at Functional tester is made for auto makers
which says: "Functional test system helps accelerate test-solution development and deployment, helping automotive manufacturers get their products to market faster".
Take a look also at the news release from Micrel, RF receiver IC is a sensitive sort,
as well as Controllers enable passive automotive sensing from Texas Instruments (April 2006-),
and Low-power radio transmitter is easier to apply from Micrel.
