Calibration and modelling of a bottom sea geophone based on Virtual Instrument

This development is a characterization of a geophone sensor with a calibrator and a shaker table in order to obtain the significant parameters and to test the proposed equivalent model. The method is based on a Virtual Instrument and allows to compare the results of the real and simulated measurements by modelling. This application is a geologic prospection to choose the best structures for the geophone. This equipment allows to record useful active and passive seismicity information, by means of acoustic wave front, with multiple applications to the marine environmental research.
