Telemetry systems are one of the most important items during in laboratory testing of rotary aircraft components, which enable engineers to verify processes taking place inside tested modules. Testing and certification of new types of rotary components in laboratory, before usage in aircraft, is extremely important and increase the safety of flying. Unfortunately, most of high-speed rotary telemetry systems which are used in aircraft laboratories are complicated and very expensive. Rapid growth of IoT technology in the last decade brings bunch of new communication techniques and electronic design possibilities, which were not available before. Combination of low power electronic design, low power communication protocols and energy harvesting techniques could bring new quality in remote measurements. The main motivation of research works is to propose design concept of smart telemetry system that could be more affordable, handful and could simplify way of rotary components testing. As a research result, telemetry system in form of light weight, RF-powered, single-PCB, smart transducer was proposed. Project is in the phase of assembly which is performed according to prepared PCB scheme. Preliminary tests show the correctness of the design assumptions. During final tests prototype will be tested in Component Test Laboratory in Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation. All tests will be performed in configuration that will be used in future test campaigns.
