Popis: Electromagnetic (EM) methods measure the distortions of a primary field which are caused by a sub‐surface conductor. The resultant field is recorded as a function of frequency or of time, depending upon the harmonic or transient nature of the primary field. The two different types of measurements thus recognized are frequency domain (or continuous‐wave) and time domain (transient or TEM) methods. Interpretation of EM data is possible by comparing field response with the analytic or experimental response of a heuristic model. Most of the interpretive developments have been done for the frequency domain technique, which is mathematically more tractable than the TEM technique when we consider generalized models possessing a conductive halo, over‐burden, or host rock. For such models, TEM response is more easily obtained from analog model experiments (e.g., Velekin and Bulgakov, 1967; Palacky, 1975). Response curves thus obtained, however, are dependent upon the shape of the excitation pulse which varies among the different transient EM systems available; e.g., the Input system (Barringer, 1962) uses a 1.1 msec half‐sine pulse, the Crone pulse EM system (Crone, 1975) uses a linear ramp pulse with 1.4 msec rise time, while the Russian MPP01 system (Velekin and Bulgakov, 1967) uses a 15 msec square step pulse.
