Multi-frequency-Full Band Spectrum (FBS) Technology
When developing the Quattro MP, Minelab’s scientists
looked at
developing a truly easy to use yet extremely powerful multi-purpose
metal detector. Discussions with seasoned treasure hunters
from around the world identified a number of possible enhancements
for operators. Features of the Quattro MP detector include:
• Remarkable detection depth
• Accurate identification
of targets to greater depth
•
Enhanced detection of desired targets amidst iron “trash”
•
Enhanced
detection capabilities when searching salt-water beaches
Most detectors on the market operate on a single (or dual)
frequency, ranging from 1 to 70 kilohertz (kHz). Although
this technology has served the industry well for years,
Minelab’s
scientists found that a frequency that worked well in one
area would often offer only marginal performance when used
in another location. Ground mineralization, trash content,
and target size all had an effect on how effective a detector
transmitting a single frequency would operate.
Full Band Spectrum technology combines Minelab’s existing
multiple frequency BBS technology with a
powerful new microprocessor to give:
•
Greater Detecting Depth
• Consistent sensitivity over a wide
range of targets
• Less interference from electromagnetic sources
• More accurate identification of target characteristics
The Full Band Spectrum (FBS) circuit automatically transmits
multiple frequencies simultaneously. This increased frequency
range means that the signal received from the detector coil
is analyzed from a wide range of responses. This information
is relayed to the operator via the speaker or headphones
and the control panel’s liquid crystal display as an
audio or visual target response.
Put simply, Minelab’s unique FBS technology means
deep, sensitive, accurate detecting.
Ground Compensation
The Quattro MP uses a sophisticated approach to the elimination
of signals caused by ground mineralization. Unlike other
forms of ground balance that require
constant readjustment, FBS technology uses advanced digital
filtering to eliminate the influence of ground signals.
Operating Frequencies
A metal detector’s electromagnetic operating frequencies
are measured in
kilohertz (kHz). Low signal frequencies (e.g.
1.5 kHz) penetrate deepest, but sensitivity to smaller targets
is low. On the other hand, higher frequencies have a more
shallow depth of penetration but high sensitivity to small
targets. The Quattro MP’s multiple-frequency operation
provides the advantage of both.
