“Methods and apparatus for adaptive source electromagnetic surveying”
A granted patent — a signal of novel engineering contribution reviewed and accepted through formal patent examination.
Engineer note: Patents signal that the work involved a novel approach vetted by independent examiners. Requires clear documentation and defensible claims.
Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for adaptive source electromagnetic (EM) surveying. In accordance with one embodiment, a source waveform signal is generated, and an outgoing EM signal which is based on the source waveform signal is transmitted using an antenna. A responsive electromagnetic signal is detected using at least one electromagnetic sensor, and a receiver waveform signal based on the responsive electromagnetic signal is obtained. A feedback control signal which depends on at least one input signal is determined. Based on the feedback control signal, the source waveform signal is adapted. Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.
