Abstract: A matching amplifier for an induction probe which detects low-frequency alternating magnetic fields of floating bodies propagating in water. The matching amplifier has an isolating amplifier and a frequency response-determining network, with the network being provided with a frequency pass region having a band-pass characteristic and an integrating response in the band pass for the purpose of canceling the decorrelation of the measuring values emitted by the induction probe, with the integrating response being matched to compensate for the decorrelation of the measuring signal of the induction probe generated by the differentiating effect of the induction probe.

Abstract: A probe for the detection of alternating magnetic fields has a highly permeable probe core (10) and a measuring winding (11) surrounding the probe core, with the measuring winding being put together of several coils (111, 112, 113) which are connected in series. In order to produce a probe which is suitable for the detection of extremely low-frequency alternating magnetic fields from a minimum distance commonly required for the detection of floating bodies that emit such alternating fields, the probe core (10) is put together from flat strips (16) of amorphous or microcrystalline magnetizable material with insulating strips (17) disposed in-between. The coils of the measuring winding (11) are configured as self-supporting coils, preferably as self-bonding wire coils, and surround the probe core (10) with almost no clearance.

Abstract: An arrangement for sweeping mines having firing systems which are sensitive to magnetic fields is disclosed which utilizes a remote control mobile floating body with a built-in propulsion system. A magnetic field is generated within a group of permanent magnets located within the floating body in such a manner that these permanent magnets are either individually controlled or controlled as a group so that various types of magnetic field mines can be detected.
