Abstract
Abstract By making multifrequency eddy current measurements on a layered conductor, it is possible to acquire information on the depth dependence of the conductivity. We consider an inversion problem in which coil impedance data are used to determine either the layer thicknesses or layer conductivities. The algorithm is based on a well known forward model which gives the impedance of an air cored coil above a stratified conductor from a closed form expression. In the forward calculation, estimates of the unknown material parameters are used to get tentative predictions of the measurements. Differences between these predictions and measured impedances are expressed in terms of a global error that is minimized iteratively with the aid of a descent algorithm by varying the parameters of the structure. Examples of minimization searches for layer parameters are given.
