Patent CA-2547062-C (CA)
Inventor: RAY CLIFFORD H
IPC: G01V1/22
Filed: 2004-09-21
Granted: 2017-01-03
Abstract: The transmission method utilizes multiple seismic acquisition units (12) within an array (14) as intermediate short range radio receivers/transmitters to pass collected seismic data in relay fashion back to a control station (16). Any one seismic unit in the array is capable of transmitting radio signals to several other seismic units positioned within radio range of the transmitting unit, thus allowing the system to select an optimal transmission path. Utilizing an array of seismic units permits transmission routes back to a control station to be varied as needed. In transmissions from the most remote seismic unit to the control station, each unit within a string (18) receives seismic data from other units and transmits the received seismic data along with the receiving unit's locally stored seismic data. As transmission is passed along the chain, it is bounced between seismic units to be relayed by each unit in the array.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a value of each bit in a seconds radar response pulse train sampled at a bit rate greater than one sample per bit is provided. The received signal is sampled repeatedly over a bit period. A scale factor for a weighting function is defined based on the amplitude levels detected from the response preamble. The weighting function has a maximum positive value at the expected bit amplitude for the first half of the bit period and decays to zero at higher amplitudes so that the effect of very large samples will be negligible. For lower amplitudes, the weighting decays to zero at the threshold level and becomes increasingly negative until zero amplitude. In the second half of the bit period the sign of the weighting function is swapped compared to the first half. The amplitude samples taken during the bit period are then each applied to the weighting function and the sum of the weighting function for the samples taken over the bit period is calculated. If the sum is positive, the bit is declared a "1"; if the sum is negative, the bit is declared a "0". The magnitude of the sum may be used as an indication of the quality of the bit decision.
