Problems solved by technology

When the conventional linear amplification method is used to realize the electromagnetic ultrasonic guided wave power amplification circuit, due to the nonlinearity of the components in the circuit, the high-order harmonic components of the output signal are always unavoidable, and the second-order harmonic components have a great influence on the nonlinear detection results. great influence

The second-order harmonic component caused by the output signal of the conventional linear power amplifier circuit has little effect on the results of linear ultrasonic testing, but for the results of nonlinear ultrasonic testing, the second-order harmonic component caused by the output signal of the excitation device will be related to the material and the defect itself. The superposition of the second-order harmonics in the nonlinear ultrasonic signal caused by the second-order harmonics leads to misjudgment of the detection results of the ultrasonic nonlinear coefficients based on the second-harmonic amplitude
