Rotary telemetry system for temperature measurements in aircraft component testing
Abstract
Aviation testing is intrinsically connected with rotary telemetry, which enables engineers to measure and verify parameters of high-speed aircraft engines components during laboratory testing. The main purpose of this article is to propose new design concept of smart telemetry module for temperature measurements, which could be easily adapted to various demands of high-speed rotary components tests and is more handful, functional and affordable than other solutions on the market. The result of the work is a telemetry system in form of light weight, PCB-based, wireless powered, smart transducer. Article presents state of art analysis, design and manufacturing steps, test results and conclusions.References
