FSB2 - multi-frequency technology

Full Spectrum Bandwidth 2 (FSB2) technology from Minelab

The FSB2 (Full Spectrum Bandwidth 2) technology from Minelab is an improvement on previous technologies used in the brand's detectors, such as FBS (Full Band Spectrum). FSB2 is a highly advanced detection system that combines multiple frequencies with advanced digitalm signal processing, allowing the detector to better respond to different types of terrain and provide more accurate object identification.

Details on FSB2 technology:

  1. Multi-frequency technology:
    FSB2 uses a wide range of frequencies (from low to high) simultaneously, increasing the detector's sensitivity to different types of metals. Low frequencies are more sensitive to deeply buried, large objects, while higher frequencies detect smaller objects closer to the surface, such as small coins or jewelry. The combination of multiple frequencies ensures that the detector picks up signals from different metals with greater accuracy, even when they are deep underground or in challenging soil conditions.

  2. Advanced digital signal processing:
    The FSB2 incorporates high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) that processes vast amounts of data from a wide range of frequencies. This system analyzes each signal in real time, allowing the prospector to more accurately identify metal type, depth and size. The DSP also minimizes spurious signals caused by soil mineralization, which means less interference and more accurate results.

  3. High resistance to soil mineralisation:
    One of the main advantages of the FSB2 is its ability to cope with highly mineralised soil that could cause problems for conventional detectors. FSB2 compensates for this mineralization, allowing the detector to maintain stable performance even in difficult conditions such as sandy beaches or heavily ferric soils.

  4. Highly sensitive detection:
    The combination of multi-frequency technology and advanced signal processing makes the FSB2 detector extremely sensitive to a variety of metals. This includes both small objects near the surface and larger artifacts in deeper soil layers. At the same time, this technology eliminates the influence of so-called "ghost" signals, which increases the reliability of detection.

  5. Faster and more accurate target identification:
    FSB2 provides faster response and more accurate metal identification by more efficiently evaluating signals from individual frequencies. This means that the user can better identify whether an object is desirable or undesirable, increasing the success rate of the search.

The FSB2 technology in Minelab detectors delivers a higher level of detection performanceand allows searchers to work more efficiently in challenging field conditions without compromising accuracy or sensitivity.
