Abstract
The task of detecting metal objects in different environments has always been important. To solve it metal detectors are used. They are designed to detect and identify objects that in their electric or magnetic properties different from the environment in which they are located. The most common among them are the metal detectors of the «detection of very low frequency» type (Very Low Frequency (VLF) detectors). They use eddy current testing for detecting metal targets, which solves the problem of dichotomous distinction, that is a problem of splitting (or set) into two parts (subsets): black or colored target. The target distinction is performed by a threshold level of the received signal. However, this approach does not allow to identify the type of target, if two samples of different metals are nearby. To overcome the above described limitations we propose another way of distinction based on the use of spectral analysis, which occurs in the metal detector antenna by Foucault current. We show that the problem of dichotomous distinction can be solved in just a measurement of width and area by the envelope of amplitude spectrum (hereinafter spectrum) of the received signal. In this regard the laboratory model using eddy current metal detector will combat withdrawal from two samples – steel and copper, located along and calculate its range. The task of distinguishing between metal targets reduced to determining the hit spectra of reference samples obtained spectrum. The ratio between the areas is measured and reference spectra indicates the percentage of specific metals (e.g. two identical samples of different metals lying side by side). Signal processing is performed by specially designed program that compares two spectra along posted samples of black and colored metals with base.
