Reciprocity Theorem
One may rewrite
Z
NR (t) = AN (r; t) dl; CR = receiver loop contour
ZCR
= d3rAN (r; t) JR(r)
JR(r) , unit current in receiver loop
Reciprocity theorem now allows the following inter-
change:
Z Z1
NR (t) = d3r dt0jN (r; t , t0) AR(r; t0)

jN = cr MN ; BR = r AR
Memory function AR(r; t) is the EM response of the
medium to an instantaneous receiver loop unit current
pulse. It fully encodes the receiver loop geometry and
subsurface conductivity structure.
Finally:

Same as previous slide, but now horizontal slices of the
imaginary part of the imaging kernel at various depths
for conducting half-space. The imaginary part vanishes
identically for an insulating half-space.

Conductivity also increases strongly with water content

Noise Main
Issues
sources of noise are
\cultural".
i0 ,ν Consider a power line, con-
r sisting of parallel wires car-
rying zero total current:
= 60Hz frequency
d0 l wire separation d0 = 1m
individual wire current
i0 = 100A.
Consider a receiver loop,
with linear size l = 100m
at a distance r = 10km away.
Generated 60Hz voltage amplitude is then

gure-eight loop
Due to
ux cancellation between lobes, gure-eight re-
ceiver loop noise is a factor l=r = 10 smaller than that
, 2
for a circular receiver loop.
Lower limit on distance r depends on powerline current,
required signal resolution, required frequency bandwidth,
etc., but typically one requires r >several km ) Strong
geographical limitations on use of present instrument.

Relaxation and Porosity

Magnetic impurities in the porous rock dominate relax-
ation, leading to dephasing and spin
ips.
