5.2 Drivel Level

Along with drivel level's increase, the main purpose level energy obtains strengthens. From monitor qualitative analysis, easy to discover the
obvious difference. And using the KLseis software selection purpose level. When the vibrator drive level uses 80%, the harmonic distortion
increases obviously, reduced in-depth data signal-to-noise ratio. Is dry and hard gradually along with the surface layer land, this kind of
distortion gradually will also increase. So the better drivel level is 70% or 75%.

5.3 Sweep Frequency

Low frequency's reduction has not improved to the data quality, but to the vibrator harm is actually huge. Along with relative frequency
bandwidth's increase, the wave is improved. High frequency enhancement, the data frequency’s bandwidth had not been improved finally. The
60Hz above frequency’s record does not have the effect signal basically. Suggests to use 8-72Hz, the guarantee dominant frequency energy.

5.4 Sweep type

According to the analysis result, the data quality of linear is better than db. For sweep type Random, 2 vibrators and 1vibrator 70% drivel force,
it’s easy to find layer in the low layer.

5.5 Num of Vibrators

Along with Num of vibrators's increase, the main purpose level energy obtains strengthens. From monitor qualitative analysis, easy to discover
the obvious difference. And using the KLseis software selection purpose level. When we use 4 or 5vibrators, it’s difficult to discover the obvious
difference .So the better choice is 5 vibrators..

6 Conclusion and suggestion
Through the above analysis that original data signal-to-noise ratio compares, after overall
consideration, the vibrator parameter is as follows:
Vibrator number : 5
Number of Sweeps : 2
Sweep Length : 8S
Sweep Frequency : 8 - 72Hz
Drive Level : 70%
Vibration mode : Move up 7.5m between sweeps
Sweep Type : Linear
• random sweeps of 2 vibratos, 45% drive level with 30 to 50m radius, offset
distance to buildings or water well
• random sweeps of 1 Vibrator, 45% drive level with 20 to 30m radius to buildings
or water well, and in the middle of the village.
• 3 Vibrators with 50% force will be used for distances from 50 to 100m.
When 5 Vibrators are employed, the safe offset distance to buildings and water wells must
be maintained at 100m with 70% force.
