1. In a telemetry system in a high-temperature environment of a combustion turbine engine, a wireless power-receiving coil assembly affixed to a movable component of the turbine engine comprising:

  • a radio-frequency transparent housing having an opening;

    a lid to close the opening of the housing, the lid positioned to provide support against a surface of the movable component; and

    an induction coil assembly comprising a wireless power-receiving induction coil in a substrate, the induction coil assembly disposed in the housing distally away from the lid and encased between a first layer and a last layer of a potting adhesive without the induction coil assembly contacting the lid, wherein the lid is arranged to provide vibrational buffering between the surface of the movable component and the layers encasing the induction coil assembly;

    wherein the induction coil comprises at least one planar winding embedded in a ceramic substrate;

    wherein the at least one planar winding is connected to electrically power one or more circuitry of the telemetry system located on the moveable component by way of at least one or more electrical leads arranged to form a loop free of sharp bends between at least one electrically conductive structure formed on the ceramic substrate and an electrical connector extending through the housing for electrical connection to the one or more telemetry system circuitry, wherein said at least one electrically conductive structure on the ceramic substrate is electrically connected to the induction coil.
