spherspheroid.f

Abstract

Program spherspheroid.f scales the solution of electromagnetic forward problem for a plane wave magnetic field impingent on a sphere of arbitrary resistivity, relative permeability, and relative permitivity, for magnetic and electric dipole moments to approximate those due to a spheroid of the desired size and aspect ratio, using D.C. and high frequency limits for the sphere adn spheroid, as documented in J.T. Smith and H.F. Morrison, 2006, "Approximating spheroid inductive responses using spheres"(Geophysics, vol 71, G21-G25), Results are given in either time or frequency domain. Time domain results allow modeling turn-on or turn-off step function transmitter wave forms, or square pulse and half sine pulse wave functions with arbitrary pulse length and repetition rate. Pulses may be either uni-modal or bi-modal (alternating sign each half period).
