Abstract :
In this work, we analyze one electrodynamic model of the crust considering a two layered crust. The purpose is to obtain the optimal electrophysical parameters of measurement that permit us to estimate the crust thickness. These parameters are calculated from the inverse elements of the Fisher matrix. The results obtained from this work can be used to plan future space missions. The optimal algorithms for these measurements can be modified to be used in active systems of remote sensing.
