  • Patent number: 9398224
    Abstract: A method and device for detecting an object in a substrate is disclosed. The device has a sensor unit having a sensor element and at least one further sensor element, a control and evaluation unit, and a display unit. The method for detecting an object in a substrate includes simultaneous reception of a receive signal and at least one further receive signal and simultaneous calculation of a depth cross-sectional image from the receive signal and at least one further depth cross-sectional image from the at least one further receive signal by the control and evaluation unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150145518
    Abstract: A device for detecting an object in a subsurface, including a transmitting unit having a transmitting element which is designed to emit a transmission signal into the subsurface, a receiving unit having two or more receiving elements which are designed to receive a reception signal which is a function of the transmission signal and the properties of the object and of the subsurface, a control and evaluation unit which is designed to control the transmitting unit and receiving unit and to evaluate the reception signals, and a display unit which is designed to display the reception signals evaluated by the control and evaluation unit. The transmitting unit has at least one further transmitting element which is designed to emit at least one further transmission signal into the subsurface, and the transmitting elements of the transmitting unit are controllable independently of one another by the control and evaluation unit. A method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130049757
    Abstract: A device for detecting an underground power line includes, for example, a sensor unit that has a magnetic field sensor element that is configured for receiving a received signal depending on the features of the power line and the underground, a control and evaluation unit configured for controlling the sensor unit and for evaluating the received signal, and a display unit for displaying the received signal evaluated by the control and evaluation unit. The sensor unit includes, for example, at least one additional magnetic field sensor element configured to receive a received signal depending on the features of the power line and the underground, wherein the magnetic field sensor elements can be independently controlled by the control and evaluation unit.
