In contemporary non-destructive inspections Electromagnetic-Acoustic Transducers (EMATs) become more and more attractive alternative in comparison to conventional contact piezoelectric sensors. Such a technique does not require a mechanical coupling and inspection can be performed in the presence of an insulation or coating. Another advantage is the possibility of inspecting in higher temperature environments. In this paper we discuss different aspects of chosen configurations of Electromagnetic-Acoustic Transducers. Numerical modeling was carried out for two types of shear horizontal wave EMATs, i.e. Periodic Permanent Magnets EMAT and Meander-Line Coil EMAT, placed on conducting and nonmagnetic plate. Preliminary signal analysis based on 2D FFT has been introduced.
