Project to Study Soil Electromagnetic Properties

Abstract

The overall purpose of the project is to facilitate the design of electromagnetic induction (EMI) mine detectors for humanitarian demining purposes. The specific aim is to help designers optimize the ability of these devices to detect low metal. anti-personnel mines in what are called "difficult" soils (considered here mainly to be those soils that contain appreciable quantities of electromagnetically lossy ferromagnetic minerals).
