  • Abstract
    The method of electromagnetic interference fringes for the prospecting of conductive subsurfaces inside the earth is reviewed. The fields radiated by an electrically small horizontal loop situated on the earth´s surface are derived and expressed in terms of different interfering wave components. The variable distance interference fringes (VDIF) method and the variable frequency interference (VFIF) method of prospecting are considered, and an interpretation procedure using the data obtained from both methods is suggested.
