ABSTRACT: The induced polarization response of an environment presenting cylindrical layers was obtained. The fractal model for complex resistivity was employed as an intrinsic property of the polarizable layers. The influence of the model fractal parameters on the electromagnetic response was investigated. The results demonstrated that the fractal parameters dominate the apparent resistivity phase response; measurements of the induced polarization data allow for the determination of the fractal properties of the environment without noticeable electromagnetic coupling effects at frequencies below 104 Hz.
