Abstract

To address the issue of large observation blind zones in Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) surveys, caused by excessive transmitter coil inductance and suboptimal emission current waveform, this study proposes a rapid shutdown TEM method, which minimizes coil inductance and enables rapid primary-field shutdown. An experimental prototype was designed and tested, demonstrating that the proposed method significantly reduces the turn-off time and the coil inductance, while improving emission current waveform fidelity. These enhancements effectively minimize blind zones, indicating strong potential for practical applications.

Key words
