Abstract

The paper considers several methods of measuring the arrival time of ultrasonic pulses. A method for determining the pulse arrival time based on the construction of a signal model with an adaptive dictionary and the search for the minimum of the target function by the quantum swarm intelligence method is proposed. The results of numerical and modeling experiments on measuring the propagation velocity of ultrasonic waves in various samples are presented. It is shown that the proposed method of determining the time of pulse arrival is more resistant to distortion of the echo waveform arising due to frequency-dependent attenuation in the material of the control object.
