Metal detector coil design has been matured to great extent over the years. However, vehicle mounted or remotely operated metal detectors require different specifications and these specifications dictate multiple transmit and receive coils operating in various settings. Unlike handheld operation, detector is more susceptible to metallic body of the vehicle. Moreover, ground calibration is also different than handheld devices. Coil geometries and intercoupling between them play a significant role in system design and performance. In this study, we study different coil geometries for vehicular applications. Starting from well-known co . . .il geometries, we placed coils on dry, wet and ferrous soil to understand the interaction mechanism. Simulation studies are performed in frequency domain but the results are all applicable to time domain pulse based detector systems. © 2014 SPIE Daha fazlası Daha az

Vehicular applications of UWB GPR demand multiple GPR sensors operating in a harsh environment. One of the key elements of in the sensor is its UWB antenna which has minimal inter-element coupling, low group delay, high directivity and less prone to environmental conditions. Tapered slot antennas (TSA's) provide good impedance match, but they need to be modified for above specifications. Parasitic slot loaded TSA with balanced feed is proposed and a multi-channel antenna array structure is formed. Structural parameters are numerically analyzed and a prototype is built. Measurements show good performance for UWB GPR applications. © 2014 SPIE.
