Suppressing the Saturated Negative Effects to Recover the Effective Sensing FID Signal From an Overhauser Magnetometer via Segmented Linear Regression

The free induction decay (FID) signal of Overhauser geomagnetic sensors may suffer from saturation distortion in the mobile magnetic survey, which results in the loss of signal envelope information. Aiming to suppress the negative effects of saturation, this article proposes a recovery method for the FID signal from saturation based on segmented linear regression. The influences of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the saturation level on the recovery effect of the proposed method were investigated. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method has a good recovery performance under low SNR and high saturation levels. Furthermore, we set up an Overhauser geomagnetic sensor experimental test platform and conducted extensive experiments. The experimental results show that when the FID signal was partially saturated with an SNR of 20.47 dB, the initial amplitude and the relaxation time recovery error were reduced by a factor of 7.30 and 6.76, respectively. Even if the FID signal is fully saturated, the proposed method can still obtain the initial amplitude and the relaxation time accurately.
