<p>A quick and effective technique is developed to diagnose the geomagnetic dipole field based on an unstrained single circular current loop model. In comparsion with previous studies, this technique is able to separate and solve the loop parameters successively. With this technique, one can search the optimum full loop parameters quickly, including the location of loop center, the loop orientation, the loop radius, and the electric current carried by the loop, which can roughly indicate the locations, sizes, orientations of the interior current sources. The technique tests and applications demonstrate that this technique is effective and applicable. This technique could be applied widely in the fields of geomagnetism, planetary magnetism and palaeomagnetism. The further applications and constrains are discussed and cautioned.</p>
