Abstract
In a first technique one or more tuned circuits ('traps') are placed in series in the metal detector coil, tuned to the operating frequency of the other sensor. In another technique a single turn coil of wire, or a small number of turns coil, is used as the metal detector coil, in combination with a step up transformer at the coil feed, to increase the EMF of the coil. In a further technique, the metal detector coil is formed in a plane that has regard to the sensing field of the other sensor. In another technique, the feed for the metal detector coil comprises a twisted pair of wires, which are routed along an axis in order to try to minimize and equalize the effect of the metal detector feed on the operation of the other antenna.
