In contrast to common transmission methods, a TDS reflection geometry was used to inspect cylindrical polyethylene samples with internal voids of known shape. The geometry of the voids was simulated and its shape was reconstructed. B-scan pulse echo images were acquired in the time domain, similar to UT pulse echo techniques on basis of the numeric model. The results were used to verify the simulation model and the reconstruction algorithm, based on a modified Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT). The model was used to conclude recommendations on an optimized measurement setup in the reflection mode. Based on that, the quality of the reconstructed tomograms was improved.
