Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of measuring polarizability, and more particularly, to a ground-air multi-frequency induced polarization method and apparatus based on pseudo-random signals. Background Art

[0002] In the exploration of mineral resources, polarizability is an important indicator. Under the same excitation source, different underground media have different polarizabilities. The polarizability of metal ores is generally higher than that of the surrounding rocks. Therefore, polarizability can be used to indicate the presence of metal ores. Based on the spectrum of polarizability, it can also provide a basis for the analysis of the types of mineral resources. The pseudo-random multi-frequency induced polarization method is a method for exploring mineral resources. This method uses the apparent frequency parameter (Fs) to replace the polarizability to judge and analyze the induced polarization effect of underground substances. By arranging two electrodes M and N on the ground, the potential difference at a higher frequency and the potential difference at a lower frequency are measured simultaneously, and the apparent frequency parameter in the area between points M and N is obtained after calculation.

[0003] The traditional measurement method of the pseudo-random multi-frequency induced polarization method is to arrange electrodes on the ground in the survey area and measure the potential difference between the two electrodes. During construction, it is required that one end of the electrode be buried underground for a certain distance, and the grounding resistance should be lower than a certain value. Therefore, the construction is cumbersome; because the electrodes need to be grounded, it is impossible to construct in many areas with poor topographic and geomorphic conditions, such as cliffs, steep slopes, gobi, deserts, hardened roads, etc., and the application scenarios are limited.
