ABSTRACT:
In a time domain electromagnetic mapping technique of the type using transmitter pulses of half-sinusoidal waveform, with the half sinusoids being segments of a sinusoidal waveform having a frequency and corresponding to a resonant frequency of the transmitter coil, an improved current fall time at the end of each pulse is obtained by forming each transmitter pulse of plural immediately successive half sinusoids, the transmitter coil being tuned to an appropriately increased resonant frequency relative to the pulse repetition rate. Circuits for generating the improved pulse waveforms are disclosed.
