Determining the geometric position of the zero magnetic flux plane is the key to the detection system of the opposing-coils transient electromagnetic method (opposing-coils TEM). Given this, a zeroing method was proposed in this study. First, an opposing-coils transient electromagnetometer was used to continuously send the bipolar square wave of fixed frequency. Then, the receiver collected the time domain signals of the receiving antenna in real time, and the discrete Fourier transform was used to calculate the minimum power spectral density (A1, A2 and A3) at the roughly-, finely-, and micro-tuned receiving antenna positions. When A1>A2>A3, the receiving antenna was in the zero magnetic flux plane. Finally, the test results of transmitting 20 kHz bipolar square wave showed that the transition process of the attenuation signals of the secondary field can be significantly improved under the condition of A1>A2>A3.
