Metal Detector Excited By Frequency-Swept Signal

Abstract: This paper describes the theoretical background of electromagnetic induction from metal objects modelling. The response function of a specific case of object shape -a homogenous sphere from ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic material is introduced. Experimental data measured by a metal detector excited with a linearly frequency-swept signal are presented. As a testing target various spheres from different materials and sizes were used. These results should lead to better identification of the buried object.

“…Chirp signal showed possibilities to apply a polyharmonic signal for metal detection. Several experiments were done and presented ( [43] and [44]) before the author left this excitation signal due to usage of similar signal by Minelab company. Sinc signal thanks to its spectrum comes into consideration finally.…”

“…For single frequency FD instruments, as the detector approaches a target, the received signal, Vsec can be given as a function of time at the angular frequency ω of the transmitted signal, but phase shifted (i.e. time delayed) by φ as shown in Equation 2 [9] [5] ( ) = sin ( + ).…”

“…The use of poly-harmonic signals offers a chance to obtain more complex information about subsurface objects. A model for example developed by Svatoš et al [9], when verified using a Schiebel metal detector with all data processing done in MATLAB, shows that one could differentiate bronze and UNI100Cr6 materials using amplitude and phase spectra analysis as well as Power Spectral Density Periodograms. Signal processing can also be done using other methods such as Wavelet transform and Fast Fourier Transforms so as to better identify the objects.…”
