Abstract
This chapter discusses various software/firmware and hardware methods and architectures to improve the fidelity of the acquired waveforms beyond the vertical and horizontal resolutions that are possible with the ADC employed. The applicability of these approaches, and the limits on the enhancements that are achievable, depend upon the nature of the acquired waveform, and they are presented separately for one-shot, repeatable and repetitive waveforms. The possibilities of combining applicable methods in order to simultaneously increase both resolutions are also discussed. The consideration is illustrated by the simulation results and the acquired experimental waveforms relevant to the ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation.
