Time domain helicopter borne electromagnetic system EQUATOR was developed in 2010. For past years it
worked successfully on survey in various conditions. It proved its effectiveness for searching low contrast
respectively small targets such as disseminated ore, kimberlites.
EQUATOR’s main features are wide survey speed range and wide frequency band of receiver. First is due to
construction properties. Speed variations do not affect survey results due to high precision transmitter-receiver
positioning. Second advantage extends system abilities. Due to full time measurements EQUATOR provides also
frequency-domain data processing. To get more informative frequency response several additional frequencies are
induced. Added signal doesn't affect time-domain response because it is absent in operating impulse spectrum and
can be removed in post processing. Due to small footprint EQUATOR is well suited for small sized targets
exploration. Its’ measurements correspond well with ground EM and drilling data.
