METHOD FOR DETECTING ULTRA-WEAK SIGNALS OF ELF/VLF RADIATION AND LOCATION OF THEIR SOURCES
Abstract
Detection of ultra-weak signals in the ELF/VLF range and location of their source are possible when use is made of specialized highly sensitive equipment. ‘Pluton’ and ‘Whistler’ magnetometric installations with record-low intrinsic noise, wide dynamic range and accuracy of temporary bindings at 30 ns are developed at the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics, RAS. The utilization of this equipment and the intrinsic methods of registration have made it possible to detect ultra-weak signals in the ELF/VLF range and to locate the source at a distance of about 2000 km.
