  • Patent number: 10775523
    Abstract: A survey method includes generating a first amplitude modulation signal by amplitude-modulating a carrier wave repeating the same pattern at a predetermined cycle in each of a plurality of vibrators with a modulation signal whose cycle is 1/m times the predetermined period and is different for each of the vibrators, transmitting the seismic wave based on the first amplitude modulation signal, generating a second amplitude modulation signal in one or more receivers, the second amplitude modulation signal being identical to the first amplitude modulation signal generated by any one of the seismic vibrators, generating a reception signal in each of the one or more receivers by receiving a synthetic seismic wave in which the seismic waves generated by the seismic vibrators are synthesized, calculating a correlation value between the reception signal and the second amplitude modulation signal, and analyzing characteristics of the medium on the basis of the correlation value.

  • Patent number: 10281601
    Abstract: A vibration detection system includes a seismic source device that generates a vibration wave repeated with a predetermined period, a vibration receiving device that receives a response wave due to the vibration wave transmitted via the ground, and a signal processing apparatus that processes measured vibration signals received by the vibration receiving device. The signal processing apparatus includes a separating part that separates individual periodic signals having a period according to a periodicity of the vibration wave generated by the seismic source from the measured vibration signals, the calculating part that calculates the standard periodic signal from the separated individual periodic signals, and the generating part that subtracts the standard periodic signal from the measured vibration signals and generates differential signals.
