ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / Adding an instrumentation / telemetry system to a test vehicle has historically required an
intrusive installation for wiring and powering all elements of the system from the sensor
to the telemetry transmitter. In some applications there is need for a flexible and modular
instrumentation and telemetry system that can be installed with minimal intrusiveness on
an aircraft without the need for permanent modifications. Such an application may
benefit from the use of a miniaturized, inexpensive network of wireless sensors. This
network will communicate its data to a central unit installed within the aircraft.
This paper describes recent efforts associated with the Advanced Subminiature Telemetry
System (ASMT) Initial Test Capability Project. It discusses the challenges in developing
a wireless sensor network system for use in an airborne environment. These include
selection of frequencies, COTS wireless devices, batteries, system synchronization, data
bandwidth calculations, and mechanical structure for external installation. The paper will
also describe the wireless network architecture as well as the architecture of the wireless
sensor and the central control unit.
