SEISMIC WAVE RECORDER DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT FOOTSTEP HUMAN DETECTION ALGORITHMS

Abstract

The article shoving the results of development seismic signal recorder for purpose of registration human footstep seismic signals. Design of recorder was adopted for collection seismic signals and store it on PC, for next seismic signal processing and creation signal detection and classification algorithms.

The article provides an overview of the types of seismic waves, their classification is given. The conditions for the propagation of seismic waves are determined, and the features of Rayleigh waves are clarified. The design structure of the seismic sensor has been developed. The specifics of the functioning of the seismic sensor are described, the place and conditions of power supply and placement of the external interface are recognized. The specifics of using the sensor of an electromechanical transducer - geophone and the features of measurements using a stationary earth are described. It is shown that the development of a seismic signal sensor circuit implies the placement of input amplifiers in its structure. The main amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of the geophone are presented. Geophone equivalent circuit, amplifier circuit, low-pass filter circuit are presented. Illustrations of types of seismograms are given, recommendations on the features of digital signal processing are given. The order of seismic signal processing is connected with its transmission from the sensor through the amplifying stage, passing through a low-pass filter in order to minimize noise and interference. The next step is to send a signal to the ADC. From the presented graphs of sensitivity and phase shift of the geophone, it follows that special attention should be paid to the curve corresponding to the sensor with an open output. This configuration of the sensor is optimal in the context of the formation of the maximum equal frequency response.

As papers result was proposed structural and schematic design for all main recorders blocks and software features that required for properly using recorder. Tests in real conditions on test sites have shown the correctness of the choice of schemes of technical solutions for the task of registering seismic waves.
