Coupling between Two Antennas Separated by a Planar Interface

The plane-wave spectrum technique is used to analyze the coupling between a pair of antennas separated by a planar interface. Multiple reflections between the antennas or between either antenna and the interface are included in the formulation. The formulation is used to model detection of buried objects, and a low-frequency metal detector example is analyzed in detail. For a transmitting loop and a buried oblate spheroid, the plane wave spectrum technique is shown to agree with well-known quasi-static approximations. Some experimental results from a 3-kHz metal detector are also shown.
