  • Publication number: 20220413177
    Abstract: A novel tracing apparatus includes an electromagnetic transmitting system, a multi-frequency transmitting antenna, electrodes, and a receiver. The electromagnetic transmitting system is at an upstream point and includes a generator and a transmitter having a capacitor; the transmitting antenna penetrates into a detected aquifer through karst collapse or a drill hole; the electrodes and the receiver are at a downstream point, and include two pairs of electrodes orthogonally distributed and located in a cofferdam formed by downstream water; and the receivers collect electric signals in the electrodes. The apparatus is based on good electrical conductivity of water, and can use electromagnetic signals as a tracer for rapid observation. Compared with traditional tracers, electromagnetic signals propagate fast in water, are stable in property, and free of pollution.

  • Publication number: 20220308249
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a logarithmic non-uniform pseudo-random electromagnetic exploration signal including: constructing two or more basic unit signals, according to an exploration requirement, that are stairstep signals obtained by superposing in-phase periodic square wave signals, a frequency ratio between adjacent periodic square wave signals is 2, and the two or more basic unit signals meet the following requirement: if a lowest dominant frequency in a first basic unit signal is a fundamental frequency, lowest frequencies of the remaining basic unit signal are l×2m times the fundamental frequency, where l is an odd number except 1, and m is a natural number; and superposing the two or more basic unit signals to obtain a logarithmic non-uniform 2n sequence pseudo-random signal. A logarithmic non-uniform 2n sequence stairstep signal is constructed within a limited frequency interval, and requirements of prospectors for a higher frequency density within a specific frequency interval are met.
