1. An electromagnetic transient transmitter to generate a magnetic field in materials to be analyzed, comprising:

  • a magnetic core made of a permeable magnetic material having magnetic hysteresis, said core magnetically coupled with the materials to be analyzed;

    at least one coil to change magnetization in the magnetic core; and

    a source of current driving the coil, said source of current is switched between zero and at least one non-zero steady current in the coil, said magnetic core remaining substantially magnetized when the source of current is switched to zero current.
