Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of seismic signal acquisition, and particularly relates to a MEMS seismic acquisition system, method and device based on a double-path alternating sampling technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] In geological survey and seismic acquisition applications, it is often necessary to continuously and accurately monitor and record extremely weak seismic signals in order to analyze underground structures, stratum changes or source characteristics. The noise level of a seismic acquisition system will directly affect the usability and accuracy of the data.

[0003] The noise level of the readout unit directly determines the performance of the MEMS seismic acquisition system, and designing a low-noise readout unit is a prerequisite for implementing a high-precision MEMS seismic acquisition system. The existing readout unit of the MEMS seismic acquisition system mainly consists of a preamplifier, a sample-and-hold circuit, a switching network, a timing unit, etc. The design goal is to convert small displacement changes into voltage signals of sufficient amplitude and to suppress various noises as much as possible in the process. Common noise suppression methods such as chopping stabilization technology, self-stable zero calibration, and correlated double sampling are used to eliminate 1 / f noise and offset voltage. The chopping stabilization technology separates the signal and noise by frequency modulation, and the self-stable zero calibration and correlated double sampling technology use a feedback capacitor to correct the offset in different sampling time slots to achieve the separation of signal and noise.

[0004] However, in a single-path readout unit, its noise suppression capability is often insufficient due to only one signal path, especially the inability to effectively eliminate switching noise such as charge injection, clock feedthrough, etc.

[0005] In addition, many existing designs use a pseudo-differential structure, i.e., using a fixed reference level on one side and signal sampling on the other side to achieve differential processing, but this asymmetric approach can easily cause device mismatching, resulting in additional errors and dynamic imbalance and reducing the overall accuracy of the system.

[0006] To address these problems, it is necessary to improve the circuit structure. By using symmetric double paths and alternating sampling, full-differential signal processing and multi-stage noise suppression are achieved, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and reliability of the MEMS seismic acquisition system. SUMMARY

[0007] To solve the above problems in the prior art, i.e., the single-path readout unit of the existing MEMS seismic acquisition system has insufficient noise suppression capability (such as the inability to eliminate switching noise) and device mismatching due to the pseudo-differential structure, resulting in reduced measurement accuracy and reliability of the system, the present application provides a MEMS seismic acquisition system, method and device based on a double-path alternating sampling technology.
