By analysing the propagation law of electromagnetic wave, the distribu
tion pattern of the field and the theory of frequency electromagnetic
sounding, the physical mechanisms that make the frequency electromagne
tic sounding in near-field zone difficult are discussed. Based on the
theory of near source field, a new method of dual-frequency electromag
netic sounding of combination wave in near-field zone is advanced. Mea
nwhile, the method of measurement of fields, the definition of apparen
t resistivity and the numerical algorithm are approached.
