Synopsis:

The subject acquaints students with the current technology used in aircraft with respect to instruments, systems and sensors working in the low-frequency field and with methods for basic processing of system data. The course includes a detailed description of aircraft instrumentation and its resistance to external influences, a description of aircraft power sources and power electrical engineering, analysis of instruments and systems for measurement of engine and aerometric quantities, and a description of emergency and operational diagnostics. It thus develops the background related to nowadays technology and methodology utilized on aircraft. The course provides a detailed overview of quantitative and qualitative research and analytical methods and their integration into signal/data processing and aircraft system design principles. The last part of the course discusses the current publishing activities in the field of aircraft instrumentation.
