A self-sufficient wireless electronic sensor node for the acquisition of guided ultrasonic waves (GUW) is introduced. The system presents a step toward a structural health monitoring (SHM) system fully integrated into fiber metal laminates. It removes the need for complex wiring to transfer energy and data and reduces electromagnetic actuator excitation interference observable in wired GUW measurements. The functionality of the integrated system, e.g., to monitor the structural health of FMLs, is tested with the help of magnets used as pseudo defects.
