Abstract
This paper presents a Split-Spectrum Signal Processing (SSP) with applications to Long Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT). The problem of coherent noise due to Dispersive Wave Modes (DWM) in the context of ultrasonic scattering is addressed and a novel solution by utilizing the SSP technique is proposed for reduction of the effects of DWM in the received signal. The proposed technique investigates the sensitivity of SSP performance to the filter bank parameter values such as processing/filter bandwidth, and filter overlap. Therefore, as a result the optimum values are introduced that improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) significantly. The proposed method has been compared with conventional approaches for synthesized signals for a 6 inch pipe by applying the different recombination SSP techniques. The Polarity Thresholding (PT) and PT with Minimization (PTM) methods were found to give the best result and substantially improve the SNR performance by an average of 10dB.
