Abstract

See full text

A method for detecting electrically conductive targets in soil including the steps of: generating a transmit magnetic field for transmission into the soil based on a transmit signal; receiving a receive magnetic field; providing a receive signal induced by the receive magnetic field; selecting at least two models, each approximating a form of a signal due to a different type of source; processing the receive signal using the at least two models to produce at least two independent signals, each representing a component of the receive signal due to a different type of source; and producing, based on at least two independent signals, an indicator output signal indicative of the presence of the electrically conductive target.
