Abstract: The invention is a method for the nondestructive examination of a test specimen using ultrasound. Ultrasonic waves are coupled into the test specimen with ultrasonic transducers. Ultrasonic waves, which are reflected within the test specimen, are received by the ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals. The method determines an average noise level, to which all discrete signal information is subjected, determines volume elements assigned to each discrete signal information having a signal level with a signal-to-noise ratio R (which is referred to as an average noise level), of 6 dB?R, determines pairs of volumes separated by a distance A which is equal to or less than a wavelength of the ultrasonic waves coupled into the test specimen. Volumes are combined into a group and the discrete signal information is evaluated, based on at least one of polarization, frequency, wave type and wave mode.

Abstract: The invention is a method for the nondestructive examination of a test specimen by use of ultrasound, in which ultrasonic waves are coupled into the test specimen with ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic waves reflected within the test specimen are received by the ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals. The ultrasonic signals are stored and subsequently divided into discrete signal information by use of a propagation time-based, phase-corrected superposition in a course of ultrasonic signal data processing. Discrete signal information is assigned to a volume element within the test specimen.

Abstract: The invention is a method using ultrasound for non-destructive examination of a test body, whereby ultrasonic waves are coupled into the test body with one ultrasonic transducer or a multiplicity of ultrasonic transducers and the ultrasonic waves reflected inside the test body are received by a multiplicity of ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals. The ultrasonic signals detected in the single measurement periods are individually stored and are accessible for off-line evaluation after termination of the measurements. Application of corresponding reconstruction algorithms permits subsequent synthetization of any desired ultrasonic coupling-in angles and focussing into the volume region of the test body from the stored ultrasonic signals without requiring any additional ultrasonic measurements.

Abstract: A method and a device for the spatially resolved detection and reconstruction of objects using microwaves is described, in which at least one object to be detected is subjected to microwaves that are generated by a plurality of microwave antennas and microwave fractions reflected by the object are detected and converted into microwave signals that can be analyzed, based on which an analysis for the spatially resolved object detection is carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the non-destructive examination of a test body by means of ultrasound, whereby ultrasound waves are injected into the test body by means of one or more ultrasound transducers and ultrasound waves reflected inside the test body are received by a plurality of ultrasound transducers and are converted to ultrasound signals. The ultrasound signals are detected in individual measurement intervals and are stored individually and are accessible to offline evaluation after termination of the measurements. The inventive method allows to subsequently synthesize any acoustic irradiation angle and focusing in the physically possible volume range of the test body from the stored ultrasound signals by using corresponding reconstruction algorithms, thereby eliminating the need for additional ultrasound measurements.
