Abstract The Hilbert transformH(x) applicable to vertical (ΔZ), horizontal (ΔH), and total (ΔT) magnetic anomalies due to a thin dike of infinite depth extent is derived from the generalised expression of magnetic effectF(x). The depth and dip of the dike is extracted by a simple procedure making use ofF(x) andH(x). A modified version of the amplitude of the analytic signal is given to locate the origin. The abscissa of the point of intersection ofF(x) and the discrete Hilbert transformH(1.Δx) directly yields the depth to the top. An example for each case is considered theoretically to illustrate the process. Applicability of the method is examined on the vertical component of the well-known magnetic anomaly at Kiirunavaara in northern Sweden, originally described by Von Carlheim Gyllenskjold, as well as on total magnetic anomaly of Bensons Mines, U.S.A.
