   Abstract:
   A study is carried out to investigate sub-optimal detectors that continue to incorporate the physical nature of the wideband frequency-domain electromagnetic induction (EMI) signal, but are less computationally burdensome. In addition, a comparison is made on the performance of such suboptimal and optimal processors. Furthermore it is shown that by careful detector design, the sub-optimal processor can achieve nearly the same performance as that of the optimal processor.
