The Sonemat SAA1000 Standalone Amplifier is a specialised, high-performance amplifier for use with electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) in non-destructive testing (NDT) and material characterisation. With a variable gain ranging from 20 dB to 80 dB, this amplifier is designed to amplify signals from guided waves, making it a vital tool for precise signal detection and analysis in both research and industrial applications.

Key Advantages and Features:

    • Versatile Signal Amplification: Offering adjustable gain from 20 dB to 80 dB, the SAA1000 delivers robust amplification suitable for EMAT applications involving Rayleigh, Lamb, and Shear Horizontal (SH) waves.
    • Two-Channel Support: Equipped with dual channels, this amplifier is ideal for pitch-catch configurations, enhancing its suitability for guided wave generation and detection using paired EMAT probes.
    • Flexible Integration: The amplifier’s analogue output is compatible with most oscilloscopes and data capture devices, making it easy to integrate with third-party processing or display systems for further analysis.
    • Safe and Durable Design: Built to operate in controlled environments, the SAA1000 is crafted with high-voltage safety in mind and features a compact, portable design for laboratory or light industrial use.

Applications:

    • Guided wave generation and detection for NDT and materials research
    • Bulk or guided Shear Horizontal (SH) wave generation for advanced material analysis
    • Signal amplification in configurations that require high-gain, noise-sensitive environments
