Abstract
Commercial sensors for seismic data collection have changed little in the previous 20 years. The sensors that are available today have exceptional dynamic range and sensitivity. This paper explores and compares the field response of analog geophones and all-digital microelectrical-mechanical-sensors-based accelerometers from the perspective of the dynamic range of the recorded data. Also discussed are other characteristics of each sensor type and the potential impact on seismic data quality.
期刊介绍:
THE LEADING EDGE complements GEOPHYSICS, SEG"s peer-reviewed publication long unrivalled as the world"s most respected vehicle for dissemination of developments in exploration and development geophysics. TLE is a gateway publication, introducing new geophysical theory, instrumentation, and established practices to scientists in a wide range of geoscience disciplines. Most material is presented in a semitechnical manner that minimizes mathematical theory and emphasizes practical applications. TLE also serves as SEG"s publication venue for official society business.
