The thesis is dedicated to the design of a metal detector for detecting metallic objects in soils.
In Chapter 1, an analytical review of various types of metal detectors is conducted, analyzing several specific examples with an indication of their advantages and disadvantages. The conclusion of Chapter 1 contains summaries and analytical conclusions obtained during the review and analysis of existing metal detection methods.
Chapter 2 examines the stages of designing the metal detector. Initially, the task for this chapter is formulated. Functional and structural diagrams are created. Further design included the development of a low-pass filter, the calculation of the required coil, and the main electrical parameters of the system.
In Chapter 3, a microcontroller for the control unit is selected, the principal electrical schematic is created, and its layout is implemented on a printed circuit board along with a 3-D model including all applied elements.
The abstract provides a concise overview of the main content of the thesis, including the analysis of metal detection methods, the development of the functional diagram of the metal detector, and its practical implementation. The work is aimed at improving and implementing an efficient method for detecting metallic objects in various types of soil.
