By integrating the DSP and FPGA technology, an arbitrary waveform pulse excitation circuit for excit- ing ultrasonic guided waves which is built on the basis of improved direct digital synthesis (DDS) is presented. The pulse excitation circuit can perfectly generate the desired pulse signal with the characteristics of the typical pulse signal used in the guided wave technology. Meanwhile, the presented pulse excitation circuit can generate the right signal type for different inspection conditions. The parameters of the generated pulse signal, such as central frequency, cycle number, amplitude, repetition frequency, can be set as required. Experimental results prove that the pulse excitation circuit can generate desired signal type with a good accuracy to fit the require- ments in practice and be used for focusing detection system in guided wave. The whole circuit is easy to gener- ate the desired pulse signal, is concisely designed and has a strong expandability.
