DIGITAL SEISMOGRAPH SYSTEM

Abstract

The research, design, and development of a prototype three-component digital seismograph having an output compatible with modern high-speed computers is described. It also describes the assembly and evaluation of a working model. The development included selection of an optimum system for digitizing the motion of seismometer masses. It was the intention of this program to develop a system of greater dynamic range (120 db), a broad frequency band (0.1 to 10 cps), good linearity, and other characteristics with in the tolerance limits of comparable conventional instruments.
