Abstract
A patch configured to fix an electronic system, which includes a sensor, to a tire. The patch has a foot with a surface configured to be fixed to the tire. The foot has at least two portions connected to one another by at least one bridging element. The bridging element has, in a section which is parallel to the surface of the foot that is configured to be fixed to the tire, a surface area which is smaller than the overall surface area in the same section between the connected portions of the foot. The connected portions of the foot and the bridging element are aligned, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the foot that is configured to be fixed to the tire, such that the bridging element continuously connects the connected portions in the same section.
