This work presents a new NDE system based on a pipelined architecture built into a low-cost FPGA. Flaw detectability is improved by two means: first, by migrating some traditionally analog functions, like filtering and envelope extraction to the digital domain. Second, by including some Digital Signal Processing functions in the processing chain, mainly an effective EMI noise filter and a data compression algorithm which keeps all the flaw-relevant information. These algorithms coexist with…

Architecture of the reconfigurable ultrasonic system-on-chip hardware platform
TLDR
The reconfigurable ultrasonic system-on-chip hardware (RUSH) platform provides a common basis which significantly reduces the effort required to develop an ultrasonic signal processing system able to process the full range of ultrasound from 20 kHz to 20 MHz.
Electronics for Ultrasonic Imaging System
Design of ultrasonic imaging system is presented. System has a modular structure with main acquisition and front end electronics separated in order to have minimal path for host PC connectivity and…
Erosion technique to ultrasonic data reduction in material inspection
TLDR
A proposed method that reduces the data storage to only those regarding a detected defect, performed in real time by exploiting a modified approach of the erosion technique that involves simple calculations, suitable in case of online monitoring.
