Key Points:<br />

• Two classes: resonant and broadband.<br />

• The majority of AE equipment is responsive to movement in its typical<br />

operating frequency range of 30 kHz to 1 MHz.<br />

• For materials with high attenuation (e.g. plastic composites), lower<br />

frequencies may be used to better distinguish AE signals. The opposite<br />

holds true as well.<br />
