DETERMINING THE COORDINATES OF LINEARLY EXTENDED ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD SOURCES

A theory is given that enables one to use signals from detectors that vary in orientation in space in order to determine the coordinates of linearly extended electromagnetic-field sources. Analytical formulas a re derived relating the harmonic signal components to the coordinates of the linearly extended field source. it is shown that the coordinate s of electrically conducting can be determined without the use of stan dards. Studies have been made on the harmonic components of the signal for various detector shapes and orientations.
