## Abstract

The invention discloses a radio frequency (RF) matching device for a tire pressure sensor, which includes a system control unit, a RF control unit, a RF matching unit, and a multi-frequency antenna in order, wherein the RF matching unit includes a resonance portion, a filtering portion, and a matching portion in order, wherein the resonance unit is connected to the RF control unit to be adjusted to the required initial frequency and cut-off frequency of various frequency bands; the filter unit is connected between the resonance unit and the matching unit to suppress and eliminate noise and unwanted frequency-doubling signals; the matching unit allows the maximum power of the multi-frequency RF signal to be transferred to the multi-frequency antenna, so that the multi-frequency antenna can transmit multiple RF signals of different frequencies.
