Moving over to MEMS: Assessing the Analog to Digital trend in Seismic Data Acquisition

Over the past twenty years, seismic data acquisition has witnessed extraordinary development in the capabilities of microelectromechanical systems-based (MEMS) sensors. These small, highly-accurate devices have now become the technology of choice across specific seismic applications, due to their superior performance and competitive price point in comparison to traditional equipment such as geophones.

In our whitepaper, “Moving over to MEMS: Assessing the Analog to Digital trend in Seismic Data Acquisition”, we take a detailed look at the rise to prominence of MEMS-based sensors, assessing traditional digital sensor capabilities before expanding on how the latest generation of devices can deliver real value for land-based seismic data acquisition.

This comprehensive illustrated guide drills down into several key areas of MEMS technological progression, such as digital fidelity, low-frequency capability and 3C recording.
