Accurate, easy, and fast inspection of defects on the backside of thick steel plates is essential for the maintenance of infrastructures. Low frequency eddy current testing (LF-ECT) is a promising method to detect defects of the backside of steel plates, with a thickness of approximately 10 mm. However, it is possible that the signal from the backside defect is smaller than that from the surface magnetic noise, causing difficulty identifying the backside defect. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the surface noise by employing a square wave inverter to generate a harmonic signal (rectangular wave ECT, or RECT), and the result demonstrates that the surface noise is successfully reduced using the harmonic signal.
