Metal detectors work by generating an electromagnetic field (transmitter coil) and analyzing its disturbances (receiver coil). When metal enters the field, it creates eddy currents that alter the return signal.

Core Technology Explained

  1. Electromagnetic Field Principle
    • Transmitter coil generates a magnetic field
    • Metal objects create eddy currents that distort the field
    • Receiver coil detects these distortions
  2. Signal Processing
    • Advanced algorithms analyze:
      • Conductivity (identifies metal type)
      • Phase shift (determines depth)
