In shallow engineering investigations, the small-loop transient electromagnetic (TEM) system is challenged by limitations such as overweight equipment, significant transmitter-receiver mutual inductance, and high manpower requirements. Hence, this study introduced an improved system. Based on the opposing-coils transient electromagnetic (OCTEM) theory, this study calculated the magnetic field distribution of the generalized opposing-coils antenna device. Furthermore, it designed and developed efficient portable antennas and the supporting system (collectively referred to as the portable OCTEM system). Subsequent field experiments demonstrate that while ensuring exploration accuracy, the portable OCTEM system can enhance the investigation efficiency by effectively mitigating the transmitter-receiver mutual inductance and significantly reducing manpower requirements. This study preliminarily verifies the feasibility of the portable OCTEM system, providing a novel technology route for developing downsized shallow exploration equipment.
