* Multiple-frequency designs drive the three transmitter coils simultaneously, with sinewaves at three distinct frequencies. This improves signal-to-noise ratio by lengthening measurement time.

* Operating frequencies are typically 30 Hz to 15000 Hz. 1000 Hz, 1300 Hz, and 1600 Hz are a good starting point. Higher frequencies give higher induced voltages, lower frequencies reduce error-causing eddy-current effects.
