Abstract: Over the recent years most of the state-of-the-art beacons now support the search for multiple burials using signal analysis strategies. Due to this, new tests results have been published. Some of these tests have the focus on range and bandwidth (i.e. the support of the international beacon standard EN300718) while other tests are focused on solving multiple burial scenarios. From the technical point of view, there are several different strategies how to face these technical challenges. With this study, the authors analyse the different technical solutions and point out the advantages and disadvantages of each technical solution based on standardized, reliable and reproducible search scenarios in respect of covering the allowed variability from the standard EN300718. Finally the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy and its impact on real burial scenarios are scope of this research.
