Applicability of ZigBee technology to electric motor rotor measurements

The purpose of this work is to determine the applicability of the ZigBee technology to electric motor rotor measurements. Requirements for data transmission, electrical structure and powering of a sensor are discussed. A prototype wireless ZigBee-based torque sensor is built and tested. The results of the tests are analyzed
