Design of Excitation Source for Ultrasonic Guided Waves Based on DDS Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the characteristics of ultrasonic guided wave inspection, An exciting power, used for exciting ultrasonic guided waves in pipeline is designed based on DDS and FPGA. The excitation source consists of FPGA, D/A conversion circuit, a low-pass filter circuit and power amplifier circuit. Constructing DDS based on FPGA as the controller and signal generator. Filter circuit and power amplifier circuit are designed in this paper. The experiment results show that the excitation source can have high voltage and high frequency output capability, and can generate desired signal type with a good accuracy to fit the requirements in practice. It can be conveniently used for pipeline ultrasonic guided wave detection.
