marty,

before investing, I also did my DD. I have probably talked to the same guys and received the same answers. My personal standpoint is as follows:

1) Resolution. The Rayleigh criterium may not apply for a system comprising a phased array of receivers (simulated by a moving helicopter). This is comparable to modern telescope design or SAR.
Assuming a layered horisontal model, math methods similar to CAT-scanning will give good image restoration.
The UPR scans on the webpage have roughly 2m x 10-100m resolution.
Compared to the scans shown in the LL-NL project (0.01m z-resolution),
the pixel resolution and results are comparable, IF they are linearly scaled up by a factor of 200.
If there are measurable signals returned, I think it's possible to create the UPR scans.

2) Sensitivity. Now this is the big issue to me. Average conductivity can not be influenced and there are fundamental noise limits determining the lower limit of the S/N. These factors cannot be influenced by e.g. increasing receiver sensitivity. The only way out is to increase the peak power of the monopulse. As there are generally no non-linear damping effects, doubling the output power will give double received signal power. I have seen figures of attainable penetration of 100m under ideal conditions. To reach just a 1000m would necessitate a hundredfold increase in output power. Antenna losses at these levels would have to be minimized.
I would like to hear from Dr Stamm what kind of peak instantaneous radiated power he can achieve.

All in all, I can't say I am confident that the EM-sounder is working as stated, but on the other hand I can't disprove it either.

I too, wish there were more technical info available.

Hope you can dig out some more.
