Abstract

This work presents recent progress on a system for measuring and characterizing wide-band electromagnetic induction (EMI) target responses. The problems involved in the system design are discussed and a number of measurements of discrete targets and samples of distributed targets are provided. Measurements are mapped to a wide-band model that represents a large amount of data about the EMI response of the target in a very compact form. The issues and techniques involved in this mapping are discussed. When theoretical predictions are possible, measurements show good agreement with theory.
