The invention discloses a receiver section towed by an airborne electromagnetic survey system, comprising a plurality of receivers, each receiver comprising at least one receiver coil. The invention further discloses an airborne electromagnetic survey system, comprising: (a) a transmitter section for generating a primary electromagnetic field that induces a secondary electromagnetic field; and (b) a receiver section for detecting the secondary electromagnetic field, wherein the receiver section comprises a plurality of receivers, each receiver further comprising at least one receiver coil; and a tow assembly for an airborne electromagnetic surveying system, comprising a means for suspending a receiver section from an aircraft, the receiver section comprising a plurality of receivers each receiver comprising at least one receiver coil.

Multiple receivers for airborne electromagnetic surveying

There are systems and methods for performing a geophysical survey using a hybrid aircraft which includes an apparatus configured to perform the geophysical survey. The system including: three mutually orthogonal transmitters configured to transmit electromagnetic (EM) waveforms towards the ground which creates a secondary magnetic field, wherein the three mutually orthogonal transmitters are attached to the hybrid aircraft; three mutually orthogonal null-coupled receivers configured to obtain measurements associated with the secondary magnetic field, wherein the three mutually orthogonal null-coupled receivers are attached to the hybrid aircraft; and three mutually orthogonal gradient receivers configured to obtain measurements, wherein the three mutually orthogonal gradient receivers are attached to the hybrid aircraft.
