ABSTRACT:
A seismic amplifier for use in marine seismic survey work involving the transmission of signals from remote signalling stations over cable pairs to signal processing equipment. These signalling stations are comprised of capacitive transducers. The seismic amplifier of the surveying system includes operational amplifiers electrically interconnected with a feedback circuit comprised of a balanced resistive-reactive network which is a lumped parameter equivalent circuit of the transmission line and capacitive transducer. The lumped parameter equivalent circuit used for feedback provides a flat, zero-phase shift overall response over the cable pair from the transducer to the output of a differential amplifier stage which is connected to the operational amplifier outputs to improve common mode rejection.
