The fixed-wing frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic method has the characteristics of a high efficiency and a high spatial resolution. In the past, The three-frequency airborne electromagnetic data have gained many good results in China. Nevertheless, they are mainly plane qualitative interpretation results, with few quantitative inversion calculations performed, which limits the improvement of interpretation level. In this paper, fast approximate inversion, one-dimensional inversion and two-dimensional inversion are introduced into the interpretation of the field data of the key AFEM anomalies in Erenhot-East Ujimqin Banner area, and the application effects of the three methods are compared with each other. Fast approximate inversion is based on the calculation of apparent resistivity. Brent method is used for the one-dimensional inversion. Occam inversion is used for the two-dimensional inversion, and Rodi method is used to solve Jacobian matrix. The results show that fast approximate inversion can quickly and effectively provide a large quantity of underground electrical distribution information, one-dimensional inversion can provide the stable inversion results with a certain depth, and two-dimensional inversion has an advantage of obvious horizontal and vertical resolution.
