Abstract

A way of detecting an electromagnetic earthquake precursor is suggested. Detection is carried out with a device composed of a vertical electrical antenna and a toroidal magnetic antenna located on the Earth’s surface. It is shown that the detector is the most sensitive to the radiation of an electrical dipole inside the lithosphere that is oriented normally to the Earth’s surface. Such a pattern allows one to detect electromagnetic precursors by the method suggested.
