Provided are systems and methods for multi-channel non-destructive
inspection which provide high data throughput, logarithmic amplification
of large dynamic range, and simplicity of supporting electronics. More
specifically, provided are systems and methods for inspecting a structure
that may use an interface board, two pulser boards, each coupled to 16
transmit channels, and two receiver boards, each coupled to 16 receive
channels, where the receiver boards are capable of processing data from
the 32 receive channels by logarithmically amplifying at least 70 dB of
dynamic range. A receiver board may include a serial connection of two
layers of multiplexing switches to provide 70 dB isolation between
channels, a logarithmic amplifier for logarithmically amplifying 70 dB of
dynamic range, a linear amplifier, and an analog-to-digital converter.
