Apparatus and method for down hole vibration spectrum analysis

摘要

An apparatus and a method are provided for detecting and measuring vibrations of a selected portion of a drill string in a bore hole. The vibrations are detected by a transducer which produces an electrical signal representative of the vibrations. The signal is applied to a band-pass filter which produces an output signal representative of vibrations occurring at frequencies within the pass band of the filter. The pass band is repetitively stepped through a predetermined frequency range under the control of digital circuitry.
