Improvement of pulse compression Rayleigh-wave EMATs
Ultrasonic Rayleigh waves play a key role in the non-destructive testing due to their high sensitivity to surface defects. Meander-line coil electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) can efficiently excite Rayleigh waves without contacting the specimen. Recently, the pulse compression technique (PCT) has been introduced to Rayleigh-wave EMATs to obtain spike-shaped signals, significantly improving the detection capability of adjacent defects. However, the small amplitude of the received signal limits the practical application of PCT in Rayleigh-wave EMATs. In order to enhance the signal amplitude, the principle of pulse compression EMATs is firstly analyzed using an analytical model in this paper. Next, we propose the design method of meander-line coils utilizing pulse-width modulation (PWM), and the performance of PWM coils is confirmed through the improved spatial pulse compression (SPC) technique. Then, the temporal-spatial-spatial pulse compression (TSSPC) is proposed to further increase the amplitude with the exaction signal designed by the time reversal method. After that, a digital matched filter is designed as an additional gain to improve the received signal, which is temporal-spatial-spatial-temporal pulse compression (TSSTPC) technique. Finally, the effectiveness of the above PCT Rayleigh-wave EMATs are verified by experiments. It is found that, compared with the previous SPC, the received signals in improved SPC, TSSPC and TSSTPC proposed in this paper are increased by 11.3 dB, 23.7 dB and 24.7 dB, respectively.
