Development, Manufacturing, and Preparation for Serial Production of Low Noise Seismometers Final Report CRADA No. TC02096.0
Year: 2012
Type: report
Abstract: This was a collaborative effort between Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC as manager and operator of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Refraction Technology, Inc. (REF TEK), to collaborate on the development of a broadband, competitive low-noise seismometer, rugged and easy to use for field deployments. The work involved collaborative work between LLNL, REF TEK and a group led by Federal State Unitary Enterprise, Research Institute of Pulse Technique (RIPT), Moscow, Russia. The proposed work focused on bringing an improved version of the Russian SDSE seismometer from development phase to production in two versions. The first was a very low cost, rugged, broadband seismometer for field deployment that would achieve noise levels comparable to the standard earth low noise model (LNM) of the USGS. All three components were integrated into one case, and have sensitivity near 2000 v/m/s, and analog output with bandwidth of .01 to 40 Hz with high coherence.
