Many　guided　wave　systems　that　are　being　evaluated　for　nondestructive　evaluation　or　structural　health　monitoring　utilize　multiple　transducers.　Data　are　typically　acquired　by　exciting　each　transducer　in　turn　and　recording　received　signals　on　the　remaining　transducers　either　simultaneously　or　separately.　For　either　case,　it　can　be　very　slow　to　acquire　data　because　of　the　multiple　transmission　cycles　combined　with　a　slow　repetition　rate　and　extensive　signal　averaging.　This　long　acquisition　time　brings　another　disadvantage　by　increasing　the　risk　of　environmental　changes　occurring　during　the　complete　acquisition　process.　For　example,　applied　loads　and　temperature　could　change　over　the　several　seconds　that　are　frequently　required　to　acquire　data.　To　increase　the　acquisition　speed,　it　is　proposed　here　to　simultaneously　trigger　multiple　transmitters,　and　each　transmitter　is　driven　with　a　unique,　coded　excitation.　The　simultaneously　transmitted　waves　are　captured　by　one　or　more　receivers,　and　their　responses　are　processed　by　dispersive　matched　filtering　to　separately　extract　the　contribution　from　each　transmitter.　Results　are　shown　for　signals　obtained　from　a　spatially　distribution　array　mounted　on　an　aluminum　plate.
