Seismic radio by reverse time mirrors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We present the theory and one field example of using seismic waves to send and receive coded messages. The method requires the recording of one calibration shot gather that will be used to decode the message. Coded messages can be send with a system similar to Baudot code. One field test is recorded in Tucson, AZ., USA, where we send and received 3-short messages. One possible application of this method is to send coded messages from trapped miners to the surface. Advantages of this method are; no velocity model is required, easy and fast to use.
