Abstract
For amplitude and phase response calibration of moving-coil electromagnetic geophones two parameters are needed, namely, the geophone natural frequency, f0, and the geophone upper resonance frequency fu. The phase-ellipse method is commonly used for the in situ determination of these parameters. For a given signal-to-noise ratio, the precision of the measurement off0 andfu depends on the phase sensitivity, f(δφ/δf) For some commercial geophones f(δφ/δf) atfu can be an order of magnitude less than the sensitivity atf0. In this paper we present an improved phase-ellipse method with increased precision. Compared to measurements made with the existing phase-ellipse methods, our method shows a 6- and 3-fold improvement in the precision, respectively, on measurements of f0 andfu on a commercial geophone.
