Abstract
ABSTRACTIt is now believed that the negative transients observed in coincident‐loop transient electromagnetic (TEM) measurements are caused by polarizable bodies (bodies whose conductivity increases as a function of frequency). Ordinarily the TEM response of polarizable bodies is obtained by calculating the frequency‐domain response at many frequencies and transforming it to the time domain via Fourier, Laplace or Hankel transforms. This is normally a computationally laborious task. However, for some simple non‐polarizable bodies the time‐domain response is analytical and can be computed easily. When these simple bodies are weakly polarizable an approximate response can be obtained by convolving the easily‐calculated, non‐polarizable response with the impulse response of the polarization. The approximate response is found to be very similar to the exact response for the polarizabilities normally seen in geological materials.
