Abstract:

Synthetic 1D-arrays of emitters are used in the area of GPR to improve primary reflections that in single-offset profiles show low continuity and amplitude due to the interference of clutter and noise. In this methodology, at each array position along the survey line, a series of single emitter-receiver measurements is performed, keeping the position of the receiver constant and placing consecutively the emitter at the positions of the nodes of the array grid. A definite phase relation between the traces that constitute each common receiver gather is established and used to shift them in time with respect to the reference-offset trace, and the results are averaged. The phase relations are defined in order to superpose constructively the primary reflections, and reduce the random noise and clutter. The 1D synthetic procedure is equivalent to narrowing the transmitted electromagnetic wave-front along the direction of a real 1D array, which reduces the interference produced by reflectors located in formerly illuminated regions of the soil, and directing the field along an emitters-reflector-receiver path that maximizes the amplitude of the primary reflection at the position of the receiver with respect to the other reflections. In this article, a previously developed 1D-array method is extended to 2D-arrays, and the results of the 2D extension are analyzed and compared to the results of the 1D-array, Common-Midpoint and Single Offset techniques. The proposed 2D procedure considers a rectangular, homogeneous geometry for the array and a simple phase-relation between the component traces. In addition to directing the wave-front towards the target, these settings make possible to reduce the width of the wave-front along both axes of the array, which is expected to enhance the 1D results. Since the dimensionality increases in the 2D geometry, the number of traces in the summation grows significantly, which should also improve the final result. As a part of the 2D methodology, a variable that represents the reflection improvement, with respect to the Single Offset method, is defined and optimized as a function of the phase differences between adjacent traces along both directions of the array and the position of the emitters-receiver group along the survey line. A final data-section is generated from the optimal values found in this step. To evaluate the results of these methodologies, two basic types of reflections are analyzed: diffractions produced by small objects and reflections at extensive interfaces. Numerical and laboratory data are considered. The effects of different numbers of emitters and distances between them on the results are investigated, in order to obtain the best result. The 2D method shows noticeable enhancements of the continuity and amplitude of the primary reflection with respect to the other methods. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
