| Popis: | Thin wires are a critical component of many types of improvised explosive devices. Short wires with lengths on the order of 30 cm to a few meters are difficult to detect using electromagnetic induction metal detectors due to the induction currents having only a small cross-section of the wire to circulate on. Longer wires on the order of tens of meters up to a kilometer are often buried at depths which preclude induction detection. We demonstrate short wire detection and identification through acquiring the electromagnetic induction response at frequencies above the traditional EMI range. In addition, long wire detection and identification is shown through electric field coupling between excitation coils and the long wire itself. We present the relevant physics of detecting both types of wires and experimental and modeling results demonstrating the utility of this high-frequency EMI regime. We present a high-frequency electromagnetic induction instrument utilizing frequencies up to 15 MHz which can detect and classify both short and long wires. |
