The invention discloses an array antenna source for advanced transient electromagnetic tunnel forecast. The array antenna source comprises multiple emission units, wherein the back of each emission unit is an external power source, the emission units respectively comprise an emission antenna, a spiral wire and a foundation, the spiral wire is wound at periphery of the emission antenna, an isolation layer is arranged between the spiral wire and the emission antenna to prevent current contact, the mutual inductance elimination effect is further realized, one side of a recess portion of a foundation center is an access port of the external power source, the other side of the access portion is provided with a needle array used for plugging the emission antennas, and periphery of the foundation has corresponding projections and recesses which are used for splicing the multiple emission units into one body. According to the array antenna source, emission field source intensity can be improved through changing source parameters and emission current intensity, exploration depth is improved, emission source pulse width is changed, high frequency harmonic wave components are improved, exploration precision is improved, high-resolution long distance exploration can be realized, and precise detection on a water guide channel in front of a tunnel face can be realized.
