Abstract
A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine () that includes a first sensor () in connection with a turbine blade () or vane (). A first telemetry transmitter circuit () is affixed to the turbine blade and routes electronic data signals, indicative of a condition of the blade, from the sensor to a rotating data antenna () that is affixed to the turbine blade or is on a same substrate as that of the circuit. A stationary data antenna () may be affixed to a stationary component () proximate and in spaced relation to the rotating data antenna for receiving electronic data signals from the rotating data antenna. A second sensor () transmits electronic data signals indicative of the stationary component to a second telemetry circuit (), which routes the signals to the stationary antenna. The stationary antenna transmits the electronic data signals to a receiver ().
