Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electromagnetic instrument systems are the foundation of deep mineral resources exploration, and the development of high-precision electromagnetic instruments is of great significance. Especially with the rapid progress of modern physics, electronic science, and computer technology, electromagnetic prospecting instruments are developing towards automation and intelligence. At the same time, the electromagnetic detection signal processing method integrates the latest artificial intelligence, deep learning, and machine learning methods, which greatly improves the detection accuracy. In this Special Issue, we seek high-quality submissions of original research articles regarding all aspects related to electromagnetic sounding instruments and signal processing. We welcome both theoretical and application papers of high technical standards across various disciplines, thus facilitating an awareness of techniques and methods in one area that may apply to others.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • EM instrument design;
  • Transmitting waveform and control;
  • Reciever technology;
  • Electromagnetic sensor;
  • Signal-processing algorithms;
  • Ground-penetrating radar.

Eddy current inspection has been extensively employed in non-destructive testing of various conductive materials. The coil probe, as a mainstream sensor in the eddy current detection system, inevitably encounters interference from external signals while transmitting its own signal. Therefore, developing techniques to extract valuable signals from noisy ones is crucial for ensuring accurate detection. Carbon fiber composites not only possess significantly lower electrical conductivity compared to conventional metallic materials but also exhibit notable anisotropy. To address this issue, we designed an ‘8’ coil probe set where the excitation coil does not electromagnetically interfere with the detection coil. However, practical applications that require portability and miniaturization pose challenges when utilizing this coil probe set to identify carbon content or defects due to the typically weak output signal. To address this issue, this paper proposes a design that combines the ‘8’ structure of the planar coil probe with the principle of phase-locked amplification to create a dual-phase sensitive phase-locked amplification detection circuit. These specific design ideas were tested using a weak signal, which passed through the preamplifier, secondary amplifier, and band-pass filter comprising the target channel for signal amplification and noise filtering. The effective signal amplitude is proportional to the inverse phase difference between the direct current (DC) signal and inversely proportional to the amplitude of the signal. Finally, the DC signal was passed through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The analog-to-digital converter (A/D) is used to collect and calculate the DC signal, enabling the detection of weak electrical signals. Simulation experiments demonstrated that the signal detection circuit has an amplitude error below 0.2% and a phase error below 0.5%. The phase-locked amplification circuit designed in this paper can effectively extract the tiny impedance change signals of the planar coil sensor probe with high sensitivity and good robustness.

A mathematical model for an electric field induced by an angularly oscillating magnetic dipole was proposed with magnetic vector potential to analyze the characteristics of the electric field induced by a rotating and angularly oscillating magnetic object. This mathematical model was constructed for the electric field induced by a magnetic object oscillating at a certain angle. On this basis, the phase relationship among the three components of the induced electric field was analyzed (defining the right-hand Cartesian coordinate system). Evidently, a phase difference of π/2 always existed between the horizontal components of the electric field induced by a magnetic dipole rotating around the z-axis. The phase difference between the vertical and transverse components in the x–z plane was also π/2. A phase difference of π was observed in the y–z plane. The above theoretical analysis was verified through simulation and experiment. The results showed that the frequency of the induced electric field was related to the angular velocity and angle of rotation. The amplitude was associated with the magnetic moment and the angular velocity and angle of oscillation. The maximum amplitude did not exceed the amplitude of the electric field induced by a magnetic object angularly oscillating at the same velocity. With regard to the amplitude and phase relationship, the three components of the induced electric field measured in the experiment were consistent with the results of the theoretical analysis.

Accurate predictions of radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) levels can help implement measures to reduce exposure and check regulatory compliance. Therefore, this study aims to predict the RF-EMF levels in the medium using an artificial neural network (ANN). The work was conducted at Ondokuz Mayis University, Kurupelit Campus, where the measurement location has line-of-sight to the base stations. Band selective measurements were also performed to assess the contribution of 2G/3G/4G services to the total RF-EMF level, which was found to be the highest among all services within the total band. Long-term RF-EMF measurements were carried out for 35 days within the frequencies of 100 kHz to 3 GHz. Then, an ANN model with Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) and Bayesian Regulation (BR) algorithms was proposed, which utilized inputs from real-time RF-EMF measurements. The performance of the models was assessed in terms of mean squared error (MSE) and regression performance. The average MSE and regression performances of the models were similar, with the lowest testing MSEs of 2.78 × 10−3 and 3.76 × 10−3 for LM and BR methods, respectively. The analysis of the models showed that the proposed models help to predict the RF-EMF level in the medium with up to 99% accuracy. Full article
