Popis: Planar gradiometers can be modelled as two-dimensional spatial filters, taking into account area, baseline and shape of the coils. We associate a spatial frequency response with each configuration studied and show that planar gradiometers behave as band-pass spatial filters. Also, in order to determine a spatial frequency range for typical magnetic field sources, we calculate the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the field due to a current dipole for several liftoffs. Important issues such as gradiometer spatial cutoff frequencies, bandwidth and symmetry are discussed.
