Abstract: Controlled source radio-magnetotellurics (CSRMT) measurements typically use artificial field sources transmitting at frequencies ranging from 1 to 1 000 kHz. Among the many transmitting sources of the artificial source electromagnetic method, the orthogonal horizontal electric dipole source and the orthogonal horizontal magnetic dipole source are preferred field sources for tensor resistivity measurements. Hence, using the analytical formulas for electromagnetic fields based on the horizontal electric dipole source and the horizontal magnetic dipole source, this study calculated the electromagnetic fields based on the orthogonal horizontal electric dipole source and the orthogonal horizontal magnetic dipole source in the homogeneous half-space model. The results show that: (1) The displacement current needs to be considered at transmitting frequencies above 100 kHz; (2) The effects of displacement current on the tensor apparent resistivity and the impedance phase can be ignored in the far zone; (3) With a constant model resistivity and varying distances between transmitter and receiver, model calculations indicate a larger measurement range in the far zone of the high-frequency electromagnetic field; (4) With a constant distance between transmitter and receiver and varying model resistivities, model calculations suggest that the far-zone range of the electromagnetic field is significantly influenced by resistivity, and that the high-resistivity model requires higher frequencies for achieving far-zone observation conditions.Compared with the electric dipole source, the magnetic dipole source exhibits smaller deviations on the tensor apparent resistivity and impedance phase with the actual value, which is more suitable for geological analysis.
