Are wireless sensors feasible for aircraft?
Thomas Yang, Jianhua Liu, Ilteris Demirkiran · IEEE Potentials · 2009
Electrical wiring on board aircraft has raised serious weight and safety concerns in the aerospace industry. Wires are antennas. Wires that carry signals, particularly high speed data, can radiate some of the energy of those signals. This can cause interference to radio-based systems on board the aircraft, or, in the case of military aircraft, create a "signature" that can be detected by enemy receivers.
