Abstract: | A frequency-domain analysis is outlined for a conducting sphere in a uniform Input field: inequispaced alternating half-sine wave pulses. The Barringer Input air-borne electromagnetic exploration system uses such source fields. Theoretical profiles of Hρ(t), the horizontal magnetic component over the sphere from different elevations and for various conductivity and geometrical factors are presented. Based on these results some useful features such as penetration and detectibility are discussed. |
