Depth of investigation of collinear symmetrical four-electrode arrays

Abstract

Abstract A study of collinear symmetrical four-electrode arrays and their tripotential variations indicates the existence of an electrode array for which all the tripotential arrangements have the same depth of investigation. Examination of computer-generated sounding curves confirms this result only when depth of investigation is defined as the median of the depth of investigation characteristic curve. The results lend support to this being the most practically useful definition of depth of investigation.
