Wheel housing comprising an antenna

The wheelhouse has an antenna (20) associated with a pressure sensor (22) carried by an assembly (12) of a wheel (14) and a tire (16). A shield (24) is provided for covering the antenna near a face radially internal to the wheelhouse. The shield retains undesirable materials (26) e.g. snow, ice, mud and fallen leaf, at a certain distance e.g. 2 centimeters, from the antenna. An independent claim is also included for an assembly of a wheelhouse and a pressure sensor of a wheel and a tire.
