Signal Analysis<br />

The recognized signals from AE events typically form a<br />

diagonal band since larger signals usually generate higher<br />

counts. Because noise signals caused by electromagnetic<br />

interference do not have as many threshold-crossing pulses<br />

as typical AE source events,<br />

Conversely, signals caused by<br />

friction or leaks have more<br />

threshold-crossing pulses than<br />

typical AE source events and are<br />

subsequently located above the<br />

main band.<br />

Because noise signals caused by<br />

electromagnetic interference do not have as<br />

many threshold-crossing pulses as typical AE<br />

source events, the hits are located below the<br />

main band<br />
