ABSTRACT:
A vibrator and method for transmitting seismic signals into the earth to obtain data on various subsurface characteristics. The vibrator is driven with piezoelectric transducers which can operate below 500 Hz, and can produce better signal resolution at higher frequencies than is possible with hydraulic vibrators. The piezoelectric vibrators can be used in various embodiments at the earth's surface, within a borehole, or while permanently buried in the earth.
