AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEY SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE TRANSMITTER ARRANGEMENTS

摘要

An airborne electromagnetic survey system includes: a transmitter arrangement comprising at least one current source configured to connect with a transmitter coil arrangement, and a switch arrangement between the at least one current source and the transmitter coil arrangement, the switch arrangement configured to (1) connect the at least one current source with the transmitter coil arrangement to build up a connecting secondary electromagnetic field, and (2) disconnect the at least one current source from the transmitter coil arrangement to build up a disconnecting secondary electromagnetic field; and a receiver arrangement comprising at least one receiver coil; wherein the airborne electromagnetic survey system further comprises an additional transmitter coil arrangement and a switch arrangement controller, the switch arrangement controller configured to disconnect the at least one current source from the transmitter coil arrangement and the additional transmitter coil arrangement at substantially a same time.
