Subject: noise and seismometer performance
From: Randall Peters PETERS_RD@..........
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007 08:38:31 -0500


Various of the latest list-serve comments are concerned with SNR of instruments,
so I've decided to describe a few of the things I've learned after about two
decades of intense research on the non-ideal properties of mechanical oscillators.

    To the extent that linear approximations are meaningful (not really true at
low frequencies and small
amplitudes), the theoretical description of a seismometer's performance is
straightforward, and treated
in the paper I wrote, titled "Seismometer performance based on a simple theory of
instrument-generated
noise equivalent power", online at
http://physics.mercer.edu/hpage/inep/inep.html
  If you look at this paper, pay close attention to the difference between
conventional instruments that output the time derivative of mass position
(velocity) and the VolksMeter (position).  Because every seismometer (as Einstein
well understood, because of inertia) responds only to acceleration (tilt being a
special case), the conventional instruments measure the 'jerk' of the earth,
whereas the VolksMeter measures its acceleration.  The two systems offer
synergetic
possibilities--jerk sensors better for the high frequency range and acceleration
sensors better for the low frequency
range.
    Some of the recent comments are concerned wtih noise equivalent power
generated by electronic devices.  Such
noise is inevitable and temperature plays a dominant role in the electronics. It
has been understood for decades
from the time of Johnson, and its treatment is straightforward.  Insofar as
temperature dependence
of the mass/spring of a seismometer is concerned, this is an entirely different
issue.  A common calculation of the Brownian motion of the seismic mass (which
suggests a simple advanatage to operating at lower temperatures) is
meaningless.  The equation employed is based on the equipartition theorem, which
does not apply because the
number of 'degrees of freedom' in the non-ideal spring is much greater than the
number two that  is assumed;
i.e., one term for the potential energy and one term for the kinetic energy (each
contribution one-half kT of thermal
energy), naively assuming a harmonic potential (based on Hooke's law which is
known to be not-obeyed).
    For those interested in some of the foundation physics responsible for
seismometer difficulties due to mesoanelastic complexity, I wrote the article
"Anharmonic Oscillator" for the the 10th Ed. of McGraw Hill's
Encyclopedia of Science and Technology.  Typing into Google the expression damping
anharmonicity -- will return the Access Science quote of the first part of this
article.  To read the whole article you will have to either (i) pay something to
McGraw Hill or (ii) contact me and I will return a copy by email attachment.
    Internal friction is intimately related to the instrument-generated noise
equivalent power and readers may find
interesting the following paper:  "Harmonic oscillator potential to describe
internal dissipation", online at
http://arxiv.org/html/physics/0307016
     Seismometer theory is hard enough to understand, even when based on linear
(overly idealized) approximations.
Even the professional seismologists, along with myself, have been guilty of
erroneous assumptions.  I believe, after
more than a decade of trying to acquire self-consistency in at least the linear
descriptions--that I'm getting close
to a first-order approximate description that is valid for the first-cut of
instrument design.  A full understanding of the real-world properties of
seismometers is truly impossible at this point in time, because we don't
understand internal friction from first principles.  In the article that I wrote,
titled
"Friction at the mesoscale",  Contemporary Physics vol. 45, no. 6, pp. 475-490
(2004),
I included a quote from a Nature article (Kessler) that speaks to the matter;
i.e., "It is one of the dirty little secrets of physics that while we physicists
can tell you a lot about quarks, quasars, and other exotica; there still is no
universally
accepted explanation of the basic laws of friction".  As noted in the paper, I had
actually contemplated
a title "Friction, friction everywhere but in our understanding".

Interesting Mr. Brad Douglas;

Im not sure about any of this
but it would be nice to understand
what is in the front end of the
first PIONEER SUPERTUNERS.

I think there are very low noise devices out there
but it would be useless to use them
in any high noise environment like
ShortWave radio.

All one really needs is to keep the
combined circuit noise below the
ambient noise or you will have
a hard time seeing the those signals
riding near the natural grass.

The astronomers will supercool
their preamps to eliminate noise and
do any broadband shifting right in
the front end.

I think i would like to have
an Astronomical expert making the
electronics for my geophone
but fear I would not be able to
afford the liquid helium to
keep it in operation.
:-)

geoff

Hello Bob;

I guess I am no scientist because the basic
idea seems so simple to me that the signal to noise
ratio can be somewhat arbitrary in your selection
of reference points.

You pick a signal level of interest
and make sure your S/N ratio is such
you will actually see the signal of interest.

Any signal with like 6dbv X2 above the noise
should be visible. One that is 120db
is a million times the noise.

It all depends upon what noise you mean
and to me that is overall "S" noise.
White Noise. Like on an "S" meter.

As any bubblehead should know ( Sub-Sailor )
S/N is one of the sinle most important facets
of any sensor device.

I am amazed that an NMR machine can
rattle a mole of atoms in a strong
magnetic gradient and listen
to them ring With various frequencies
in response.

They must have a receiver unlike anything
I am familiar with.

I would start by looking at the USGS noise levels
then figure out what S/N ratio needs to be
before designing a serious device.
The place i live in here is so terribly
noisy I need to filter right at the
preamp to keep my electronics from
being jammed by higher vehicular frequencies.

It probably would do me little good
to invest in high class low noise
amplifiers at my current location.

The overall noise of your system
needs to be lower than the grass.
To the point of diminishing returns.
The grass being the noise in the ground
at whatever bandwidth during a quiet
sunday morning like 3am local time.

Most people do not build their own
devices and do not concern themselves
with this thought.
There are many types of noise but the only
one of interest is the overall results.
I cant wait until Universal Entropy Reaches Maximum
That will be the quietist time of all.

Regards
geoff

Hi Geoff -

Unfortunately, my knowledge of electronics is less than stellar.  I am
working at understanding concepts of seismology.  As for
electronics.....well, I'll leave that for someone else.  I was hoping to
find an answer that would allow me to apply the SNR numbers I see to the
practical side of seismology.  I understand the simple concept of an
amplifier (boosting a signal), but unfortunately, I have no working
knowledge of their innards or how the individual parts work by themselves
and in concert with each other.

Hi

There was a ML4.3 earthquake at 06:41 in SERAM, INDONESIA (sorry for the

More details.
