Stratagem Features:
Fast
Data Collection and Instrument Set Up:
The operator can
select the frequency bands and the number of time series stacks
for data collection allowing optimization for data collection.
Typical data collection times of 10 minutes per station and
instrument set up time of 10 minutes per station.
One-dimensional
and Two-dimensional Field Plots:
Stratagem allows viewing of
1D soundings and 2D sections in the field.
Built-in
Thermal Printer:
Built in thermal printer can print hard copy of time series,
signal amplitude, signal phase, coherency, apparent resistivity,
resistivity curves, and depth and frequency sections.
Exploration
as Shallow as 10 Meters and as Deep as 1 km:
Actual depth of investigation will vary with the ground resistivity,
signal quality, and whether low-frequency options are employed.
Complete
Data Sets: Stratagem data file store complete time series,
cross-power data, spectral amplitudes, scalar resistivity,
tensor resistivity, phase, and coherency
Configurations:
The
Stratagem EH4 transmitter consists of a dual-loop antenna,
transmitter electronics, and controller. The transmitter
provides unpolarized source fields, which allow for true tensor
measurements of ground resistivities. This provides more
accurate interpretation of true resistivities than
conventional single-dipole transmitter source signals. The
transmitter is powered by a 12 V DC battery.
The illustration shows a typical
configuration of the Stratagem receiver. The magnetic fields
are detected with two perpendicular H-field sensors. The
electric fields are detected by measuring the differential
voltage between the two electrodes of the electric dipole. For
example, the X-direction E field is measured between Ex0 and
Ex1 as shown in the diagram. The response of the E-field sensors
is amplified and filtered by the Analog Front End and
transmitted to the Stratagem console for analog-to-digital
conversion and digital signal processing..

The
standard configuration provides for acquiring data in the range
of 10 Hz to 92 kHz. The low-frequency configuration will allows
the use of frequencies to as low as 0.1 Hz and thus greater
depth of investigation.
The standard configuration uses a small,
portable controlled-source antenna with a magnetic moment of
approximately 400 A-m2. For work in highly resistive areas
there is an optional large-loop antenna available of
approximately 6,000 A-m2
