Acoustic Characterization of Soil

Abstract

Detection and classification of buried cultural artifacts in ground soil are principal goals for the production, detection and processing of acoustic signals. Time domain, frequency domain, and combined time-frequency domain approaches to transmit and process acoustic signals all depend critically on the acoustic transduction device to transmit high-amplitude acoustic pressure waves and to receive low-amplitude acoustic pressure waves over a large band of frequencies.
