  • Abstract
    This paper discusses smart sensors which are a critical element to monitoring, control, and evaluation processes as needed to support ground based testing for rocket engine test. Sensor applications involve tens to thousands of sensors; their reliable performance is critical to achieve overall system goals. These system engineering trade-offs include the familiar constraints of power, signal conditioning, cabling, reliability, and mass, and now include considerations such as spectrum allocation and interference for wireless sensors.
