Investigation of the impact of turbine blade geometry on near-field microwave blade tip time of arrival measurements

This study investigates the manifestation of geometric features of turbine blades in signatures of non-optical time of arrival (ToA) probes. The approach enables an evaluation of the various signal characteristics used for defining ToA for a range of airfoil geometries and provides knowledge about a...
