航空发动机健康监测领域的一个新趋势是采用无线传感器网络（WSN）进行数据采集和状态监测，以部分取代笨重而复杂的线束，这限制了监测过程的多功能性并产生了实际部署问题。通过无线技术增强有线技术将带来减少布线、加快传感器和网络部署、提高数据采集灵活性以及降低电缆维护成本的机会。然而，将无线技术嵌入到航空发动机中（即使是在此处考虑的地面测试应用中）也带来了一些非常重大的挑战，例如，具有复杂射频传输通道、高传感器密度和高数据速率的恶劣环境。在本文中，我们讨论了燃气轮机发动机测试中的无线数据采集（WIDAGATE）项目的结果，该项目旨在设计和模拟这样的网络，以估计网络性能并在部署之前消除无线技术的风险。
A new trend in the field of Aeronautical Engine Health Monitoring is the implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for data acquisition and condition monitoring to partially replace heavy and complex wiring harnesses, which limit the versatility of the monitoring process as well as creating practical deployment issues. Augmenting wired with wireless technologies will fuel opportunities for reduced cabling, faster sensor and network deployment, increased data acquisition flexibility, and reduced cable maintenance costs. However, embedding wireless technology into an aero engine (even in the ground testing application considered here) presents some very significant challenges, for example, a harsh environment with a complex RF transmission channel, high sensor density, and high data rate. In this paper we discuss the results of the Wireless Data Acquisition in Gas Turbine Engine Testing (WIDAGATE) project, which aimed to design and simulate such a network to estimate network performance and derisk the wireless techniques before the deployment.
