Abstract
A geophysical or space-based detection, interrogation, or exploration system includes a compact electric dipole driven transmitter for producing a primary electromagnetic field, and a very sensitive electromagnetic sensing receiver for detecting a secondary electromagnetic field produced by electromagnetic induction in a target responsive to the primary electromagnetic. The electromagnetic sensing receiver is configured to employ computer-controlled software that operates an inverse algorithm that processes receiver data resulting from detection by the electromagnetic sensing receiver of the secondary electromagnetic field, and that performs analysis on results of the inverse algorithm to classify the target in a manner that distinguishes material, shape, or location of the target, and that displays results of the analysis. The compact electric dipole driven transmitter can be a compact transmitting antenna according to the present invention that includes a vacuum tube, a charged particle beam gun, a beam timing controller, and a beam speed controller.
