摘要
A portable, wide bandwidth, time-domain electromagnetic sensor system has been developed and used extensively to measure the eddy current time-decay response of a wide variety of metal targets. The sensor has demonstrated the ability to measure metal target decay times starting approximately 3 to 5 mus after the transmitter current is turned off and target decay time constants as short as 1.4 mus. The sensor has demonstrated the potential for detecting very low-metal content mines due to the void they create in some types of electrically lossy soils. The development of the sensor is described in detail, and time-decay data are shown for a variety of metal targets, including low metal antitank and antipersonnel mines.
