NASA is investigating the use of carbon fiber tow steering to tune aeroelastic characteristics in advanced composite structures. In support of that effort, NASA is also investigating methods of measuring the angle of carbon fiber tows as they are placed. This work presents the results of using microwave reflectometry in the approximately 2 GHz region to measure carbon fiber tow angles at 0.1deg resolution.
