Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to electromagnetic mapping wherein magnetic fields of two or three different and normally audio frequencies may be transmitted or received efficiently using induction coils with the same orientation and essentially the same spatial location. Flat, air cored coils are used and are overlapped so as to have essentially zero mutual inductance between pairs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
Electromagnetic exploration apparatus comprising means for simultaneously transmitting electromagnetic fields of three different frequencies, means for receiving transmitted electromagnetic fields of three different frequencies, at least one of said transmitting means and said receiving means including three air cored coils each lying in its own plane and having an axis perpendicular to its plane, said coils being mounted with their axes at least substantially parallel and with their planes closely spaced and at least substantially parallel, each coil being overlapped sufficiently with respect to the other two coils that the mutual inductance of said three coils is at least substantially zero.
