Abstract

The main concepts of the theory of optimal signal processing as applied to tasks of ultrasonic testing of articles with high integral damping of acoustic vibrations are considered. The conditions for ensuring the optimal transfer coefficient of the receiving section of an ultrasonic flaw detector’s electroacoustic channel are formulated. The requirements for the characteristics of broadband piezoelectric transducers aimed at the insurance of undistorted transmission of ultrasonic signals are formulated.
