Abstract

High spatial resolution magnetoresistive arrays are utilized for eddy current testing in combination with a single wire excitation and a heterodyne principle to minimize metrology efforts. A discrete frontend with FPGA-based data acquisition makes use of a 128-element eddy current probe to test 440 μm artificial surface defects with an SNR of 24 dB.
