Wireless Instrumentation System for Aircraft Testing

Abstract

NextGen has developed a Wireless Instrumentation Systems (WIS) that provides a wireless communications interface to connect analog or digital sensors to an existing airborne instrumentation system. The WIS consists of a central aggregator and multiple wireless sensor nodes, with each node capable of handling one or more sensors. This presentation will address the challenges of reliable data transfer, time synchronization and power options.
