Final technical report on the Surface Electrical Properties Experiment Part 2

Abstract

This report consists of a series of reports, reprints and preprints that in themselves constitute a self-explanatory record of the work performed by the University of Toronto on the Surface Electrical Properties Experiment. Areas discussed include: data handling and processing, installation and external signal application, operation of the equipment, and digital output. Detailed circuit descriptions are included. A complete unified discussion of the electromagnetic response of a plane stratified structure is reported. A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the theoretical parts of the electromagnetic is given. The numerical problem of computing numbers of the electromagnetic field strengths is discussed. It is shown that the analysis of the conductive media is not very far removed from the theoretical analysis and the numerical difficulties are not as acute as for the low-loss problem.
