摘要: A system of a machine includes a network of a plurality of nodes (68a, 68b) distributed throughout the machine. Each of the nodes (68a, 68b) is operable to communicate through a plurality of electromagnetic signals (86). A controller (66) is operable to communicate with the network of nodes (68a, 68b) through the electromagnetic signals (86). A plurality of waveguides (70-73; 202; 222; 242) is configured to confine transmission of the electromagnetic signals (86) between the controller (66) and one or more of the nodes (68a. 68b). A radio frequency antenna (206) is coupled to a first end of a first waveguide (202; 222; 242) of the plurality of waveguides (70-73; 202; 222; 242). A radio frequency transceiver (204) is coupled between the controller (66) and the radio frequency antenna (206). A capacitively coupled membrane (208) at a second end of the first waveguide (202; 222; 242) is configured to establish communication between the first waveguide (202; 222; 242) and at least one node of the plurality of nodes (68a, 68b).

摘要: A system (64) of a machine includes a network of nodes (68a, 68b) distributed throughout the machine. Each of the nodes (68a, 68b) is operable to communicate through electromagnetic signals. The system (64) also includes a radio frequency transceiver (204), a first antenna (206) coupled to the radio frequency transceiver (204), a second antenna (208) coupled to one or more sensor nodes (68b), and a controller (66) coupled to the radio frequency transceiver (204). The controller (66) is configured to select at least one sensor node (68b) to interrogate, transmit one or more interrogation frequencies from the radio frequency transceiver (204) through the first antenna (206) to the second antenna (208), receive one or more sensor frequencies at the first antenna (206) broadcast from the second antenna (208) based on a frequency response of the at least one sensor node (68b) to the one or more interrogation frequencies, and determine one or more sensed values based on the sensor frequencies received at the radio frequency transceiver (204) through the first antenna (206).

摘要: A node (68) of a radio frequency waveguide system (500) includes a waveguide interface (519), a signal splitter (522), a power rectifier (532) and conditioner (534), a communication filter (538), and a network processor (542). The waveguide interface (519) is configured to communicate through a waveguide (516). The signal splitter (522) is configured to split a radio frequency transmission received at the waveguide interface (519) between a power path (524) and a communications path (526) within the node (68). The power rectifier (532) and conditioner (534) are configured to produce a conditioned power signal (536) based on power received through the power path (524). The communication filter (538) is configured to produce a filtered communication signal (540). The network processor (542) is powered by the conditioned power signal (536) and configured to extract encoded information from the filtered communication signal (540).

摘要: A system of a machine includes a network (100) of a plurality of nodes (68a, 68b) distributed throughout the machine, a controller (66), and a plurality of waveguides (170, 171, 172, 173a, 173b, 173c, 174a, 174b). Each of the nodes (68a, 68b) is operable to communicate through one or more radio frequencies, where the machine includes a cooler portion and a hotter portion. The controller (66) is operable to communicate with the network (100) of nodes (68a, 68b) using a higher frequency to communicate with one or more of the nodes (68a, 68b) in the cooler portion of the machine and a lower frequency to communicate with one or more of the nodes (68a, 68b) in the hotter portion of the machine. The waveguides (170, 171, 172, 173a, 173b, 173c, 174a, 174b) are configured to guide transmission of the one or more radio frequencies between the controller (66) and one or more of the nodes (68a, 68b).

摘要: A multi-mode microwave waveguide blade sensing system (500) includes a transceiver, a waveguide (174b), and a probe sensor (176). The transceiver generates a microwave energy signal having a first waveguide mode and a different second waveguide mode. The waveguide (174b) includes a first end that receives the microwave energy signal. The probe sensor (176) includes a proximate end (178a) that receives the microwave energy signal from the transceiver and a distal end (178b) including an aperture that outputs the microwave energy signal. The probe sensor (176) directs the microwave energy signal at a first direction based on the first waveguide mode and a different second direction different based on the second waveguide mode. The probe sensor (176) receives different levels of reflected microwave energy based at least in part on a location at which the at least one microwave energy signal is reflected from the machine.

摘要: According to an example embodiment, a gas turbine engine assembly includes, among other things, a fan that has a plurality of fan blades. A diameter of the fan has a dimension D that is based on a dimension of the fan blades. Each fan blade has a leading edge. An inlet portion is situated forward of the fan. A length of the inlet portion has a dimension L between a location of the leading edge of at least some of the fan blades and a forward edge on the inlet portion. A dimensional relationship of L/D is between about 0.2 and 0.45.

摘要: A gas turbine engine (20) includes a housing (102) including a first component providing an AC signal into an input cable (120). The input cable (120) extends to an input conductive plate (122). The input conductive plate (122) is in contact with a dielectric plate (124), and an output conductive plate (126) is attached to an opposed side of the dielectric plate (124). The output conductive plate (126 extends to an output cable extending to a second component, such that a capacitance based connection is provided between the input and output cables, to communicate from said first component to the second component.
