Abstract

This paper presents a compact, high-efficiency electromagnetic transmitter for Controlled-source Audio-frequency Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) applications, operating in the 10-100 kHz range. A novel bipolar square-wave inverter topology is proposed, which directly modulates the transformer's secondary-side AC output, eliminating conventional rectification and filtering stages. This design reduces system losses (simulated efficiency > 90%) and achieves an approximately 40% reduction in both volume and weight. The power stage uses a full-bridge bipolar inverter topology with SiC-MOSFETs, combined with a high-frequency transformer for voltage gain. Simulation, laboratory testing, and EMI evaluation confirm stable square-wave generation and full compliance with EN55032 Class A standards. Field validation with a CSAMT receiver demonstrates effective signal transmission and high-resolution subsurface imaging, thereby improving the efficiency and portability of urban geophysical exploration.

摘要

本文提出了一种用于可控源音频大地电磁（CSAMT）应用的紧凑型高效电磁发射器，工作在10 - 100kHz范围内。提出了一种新颖的双极方波逆变器拓扑结构，该结构直接调制变压器的次级侧交流输出，省去了传统的整流和滤波阶段。这种设计降低了系统损耗（模拟效率>90%），并使体积和重量都减少了约40%。功率级采用带有碳化硅金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管（SiC-MOSFETs）的全桥双极逆变器拓扑结构，并结合高频变压器以实现电压增益。仿真、实验室测试和电磁干扰（EMI）评估证实了稳定的方波生成，并且完全符合EN55032 A类标准。使用CSAMT接收器进行的现场验证表明信号传输有效且地下成像具有高分辨率，从而提高了城市地球物理勘探的效率和便携性。
