Extending the Capability of Seismic Sensors Using a Universal Filter Transfer Function
摘要
In recent years the global trend in seismological observations consists in increasing the number of measuring points and equipping them with broadband and highly sensitive sensors. However, this approach leads to a significant rise in the cost of measurements. One possible solution to this problem is the use of much cheaper geophones or short-period seismometers with an extended frequency range as additional sensors. The article discusses the process of synthesizing a correction filter circuit based on a biquadratic transfer function and provides schemes for broadening the frequency characteristics of sensors, including circuits for correcting the characteristics of the SM-3KV seismometer and the GS-20DX geophone in instrument design. The developed algorithm makes it possible to broaden the frequency response of the SM-3KV seismometer to the low-frequency region up to 0.02 Hz (natural frequency of 0.5 Hz) and the GS-20DX geophone to 1 Hz (natural frequency of 10 Hz).
