Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geophysical exploration, and in particular relates to a wide-azimuth artificial source electromagnetic observation method, device and medium. Background Technology
[0002] The transmitting system, consisting of a generator and instruments, extends wires that are grounded at points A and B, forming a loop with the earth. Points A and B each consist of several electrodes, typically made of aluminum plates, but copper rods can also be used. Current is transmitted into the ground through points A and B, forming what is called the field source (i.e., the origin of the electromagnetic field). A rectangular coordinate system is established with the midpoint of the field source as the origin, where x represents parallel to AB, y represents perpendicular to AB, and z represents perpendicular to the earth's surface downwards.
[0003] Artificial source electromagnetic method transmits currents of different frequencies into the ground through a field source, and then obtains electromagnetic field signals of the same frequency from a distance and analyzes these signals to obtain the properties of the underground medium.
[0004] The electric field components are collected by leading wires from the measuring instrument and grounding them on both sides of the measuring point, forming a potential difference measuring device. The midpoint of the line connecting the grounding points is the measuring point, and the electric field can be calculated from the measured potential difference. The angle between the line connecting the two grounding points and the x-axis indicates the different electric field components; for example, Ex indicates an angle of 0, 180, or 360 degrees, and Ey indicates an angle of 90 or 270 degrees. The electric field only has a horizontal component, so only the variation in the horizontal direction needs to be considered, i.e., the xoy plane.
[0005] Magnetic field components are collected directly at the measurement point using magnetic field sensors (magnetic rods, fluxgates, etc.). The angle between the orientation of the magnetic field sensor and the x-axis represents the magnetic field component, similar to the observation of the electric field. Magnetic fields have three directional components; we need to consider both the horizontal and vertical variations, i.e., three-dimensional space.
[0006] Conventional artificial source electromagnetic method observation devices can only collect the field strength within a specific azimuth angle of the source (60 degrees on each side) when acquiring electromagnetic field signals, and can only collect specific electromagnetic field components at the measurement point, including the electric field component E. x E y Magnetic field component H x H y H z Five types of traditional observation devices have a small range of field source locations to choose from, resulting in low utilization of the field source. Under complex terrain conditions, it is difficult to select a suitable field source location and it is also difficult to ensure the accuracy of electromagnetic field components, leading to low observation accuracy and even making construction impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. These embodiments are based on the technical solutions of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes to further explain the technical solutions of the present invention.
