Abstract

This paper presents an apparatus to measure the spectroscopic magnetic response of small metallic objects and deduce the magnetic polarizability tensor. The measured transimpedances of a .222 Remington rifle cartridge and titanium cube are compared to simulated results and are found to match well providing verification of the method. The eigenvalues of the two objects are calculated and discussed highlighting the potential discriminatory aspect. The results support the proposed use of the eigenvalue spectra to provide subsurface classification and discrimination between landmines and clutter.
