• dB AE - a logarithmic measure of acoustic emission signal amplitude,<br />

referenced to 1 μV at the sensor, before amplification.<br />

Signal peak amplitude dB AE<br />

(dB AE ) = (dB 1μV at sensor ) = 20 log10(A 1 /A o ) (1)<br />

where:<br />

A o = 1 μV at the sensor (before amplification), and<br />

A 1 = peak voltage of the measured acoustic emission signal (also before<br />

amplification).<br />
