Abstract The use of sweep-frequency excitation for rapid measurement of time-dependent pressures on wind-tunnel models is examined. Results obtained from two different wind-tunnels covering the Mach number range from 0.2 to 0.85, and a wide range of flow conditions, are compared with measurements made using the slower, traditional method of discrete-frequency excitation. It is concluded that the sweep-frequency excitation method can reduce testing time in certain flow conditions with no significant loss in accuracy.
