    摘要: A detector for calculating the distortion of an electromagnetic field produced by a buried current carrying conductor comprises three antennas B, M, T. Outputs of two pairs of antennas are compared and the depth of the buried conductor is calculated using two different methods. If there is a significant difference in the two calculated depths then it is deemed that the electromagnetic field produced by the buried current carrying conductor is significantly distorted by the material in which the conductor is buried.

    摘要: A detector for detecting a buried conductor comprises a plurality of antennas B, T. Each antenna B, T has a winding wound around the antenna, the winding being connected to a current source for providing a predefined current in the winding. When the predefined current is applied to the winding an electromagnetic field is generated at the antenna which induces a test current in the antenna. The test current is compared to calibration data stored in the detector to validate the correct operation of the detector.

    摘要: A system and method to locate electronic marker balls includes receiving a signal representative of a detected marker ball. The signal includes the resolved in-phase and quadrature-phase (I and Q) components, each centered about a first frequency. The I and Q components are filtered in order to shift the first frequency to a second frequency and match the second frequency I and Q components to exponential decay characteristics associated with the marker balls. The second frequency I and Q components phase integrated in order to distinguish the components from noise. The integrating is based upon predetermined gain coefficients and produces integrated I and Q components in accordance with the predetermined gain coefficients. Next, a magnitude of the integrated I and Q components is determined to produce an I and Q magnitude vector and a noise variance associated with the magnitude vector is determined. Finally, the recursive coefficients are adjusted in accordance with the determined noise variance.
