Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acoustic wave well logging, in particular to an acoustic wave signal filtering circuit. Background Art
[0002] Acoustic variable density logging is a type of acoustic logging. Its principle is to use the large difference in acoustic impedance between cement and mud (or water) to attenuate sound waves propagating along the casing axis, thereby reflecting the quality of the cement-casing and casing-formation bonds. Acoustic variable density logging evolved from acoustic amplitude logging. This method has played a positive role in oilfield exploration and development.
[0003] In the process of digital acoustic variable density logging, what we want to obtain is the full wave train information after the acoustic wave propagates in the formation. Through ground software digital signal processing, we can obtain waveform information such as casing wave, formation wave, direct wave, etc., and thus carry out cementing quality analysis.
[0004] The current acoustic amplitude logging method transmits the entire acoustic wave train to the surface, where the surface logging system calculates the amplitude of the first wave. This logging method requires the acoustic wave signal to pass through the cable core during transmission, resulting in significant amplitude attenuation, insufficient signal strength, and a low signal-to-noise ratio.

[0042] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0043] The weak electrical signal received by the present invention is firstly amplified by a differential amplifier. The differential amplifier can reduce common-mode noise and improve the quality of the signal. The initially amplified signal enters the pre-filter, whose bandwidth is set to 5KHz to 20KHz to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and ensure that only signals within a specific frequency range pass through. The output of the pre-filter is connected to a programmable amplifier circuit group, which consists of a two-stage amplifier circuit and can achieve 16-level amplification adjustment. The maximum amplification factor can reach 75dB, ensuring that the signal has sufficient strength during transmission. A phase compensation circuit is set between the programmable amplifier circuit and the pre-filter to avoid self-excited interference in the high-frequency band and ensure the stability of signal amplification. The broadband filter further attenuates the circuit itself. Noise, its filtering frequency range is 500Hz to 35KHz, and the transmission gain is 1 times. After the signal is broadband filtered, the level is adjusted by the signal shift circuit to ensure that the signal is within the effective quantization range of the ADC. The output of the signal shift circuit is sent to the high-speed ADC circuit for analog-to-digital conversion. The ADC has a 16-bit bandwidth and a maximum sampling rate of 1Msps to achieve high-precision signal conversion. The converted digital signal is sent to the microcontroller through the local bus for digital compression and packaging processing. The microcontroller has powerful computing and storage capabilities and a processing rate of up to 150MIPS. After receiving the synchronization command, the microcontroller sends the processed data to the main control module through the internal CAN bus to complete the work flow of the signal filtering module.
