Blade tip-timing is an extensively used technique for measuring blade vibrations in turbine and compressor stages; it is one of the preferred techniques used for characterizing their dynamic behaviors using non-contact probes. Typically, arrival time signals are acquired and processed by a dedicated measurement system. Performing a sensitivity analysis on the data processing parameters is essential for the proper design of tip-timing test campaigns.

- Non-destructive testing is increasingly vital for gas turbine manufacturers' structural health monitoring.
- The tip-timing method is favored for analyzing the dynamic behavior of turbine blades using non-contact technology.
- This study examines the uncertainty in measuring Blade Tip-Timing, focusing on both the measurement setup and data processing, and assesses the impact of electronic elements and signal processing under various conditions.
