Abstract
A detection wafer with a non-linear circuit for an electromagnetic detection system wherein two different transmission frequencies are used, comprising a resonant circuit connected to a non-linear element forming from the transmission frequencies, a third frequency to be detected. The non-linear element forms part of an amplifying semiconductor circuit connected to a supply battery and having an input circuit coupled to the resonant circuit, and an output circuit comprising a coil magnetically coupled to the coil of the resonant circuit, the resonant frequency bandwidth of the resonant circuit comprising both transmission frequencies and the frequency to be detected.
