    Abstract: An electromagnetic geophysical exploration system includes a first transmitter-receiver pair that includes a first transmitter configured to transmit a first waveform in a first spectrum and a first receiver configured to sense signals in the first spectrum; and a second transmitter-receiver pair that includes a second transmitter configured to transmit a second waveform in a second spectrum, the second spectrum having a frequency higher than a frequency of the first spectrum, and a second receiver configured to sense signals in the second spectrum; and a control portion. The control portion controls the first transmitter to transmit the first waveform with a first given strength or shape in the first spectrum, and controls the second transmitter to transmit the second waveform with a second given strength or shape in the second spectrum, after a specified time delay.

    Abstract: A computing device and method for removing noise associated with an excitation signal and its odd harmonics. A computing system for processing electromagnetic (EM) signals includes an interface that receives raw data indicative of a time rate of change of a magnetic field as recorded with a receiver coil while airborne, wherein the magnetic field includes a primary source excitation; and a processor connected to the interface. The processor is configured to calculate a rotation of the receiver coil relative to a desired orientation; derotate the raw EM data based on the rotation of the receiver coil relative to the desired orientation and on the primary source excitation, to obtain derotated EM data; and generate an image of a surveyed subsurface based on the derotated EM data.
