METHOD FOR GENERATING SPREAD SPECTRUM DRIVER SIGNALS FOR A SEISMIC VIBRATOR ARRAY USING MULTIPLE BIPHASE MODULATION OPERATIONS IN EACH DRIVER SIGNAL CHIP

摘要

A method for generating seismic energy for subsurface surveying includes operating a first seismic vibrator above an area of the subsurface to be surveyed and operating at least a second seismic vibrator above the area substantially contemporaneously with the operating the first seismic vibrator. The first and the second vibrators each have a different selected frequency response. The first and second vibrators are each operated by a same direct sequence spread spectrum signal, wherein a different number of modulation operations for each logical value in the direct sequence spread spectrum signal is selected for each vibrator.
