High-Resolution Dipole Remote Detection Logging Based on Optimal Nonlinear Frequency Modulation Excitation

Abstract

In order to improve the detection range and imaging resolution of dipole remote detection logging, an optimal nonlinear frequency modulation (ONLFM) excitation method is proposed in this paper. In this method, the optimal waveform model of the sound source is designed with objective functions of SNR and resolution to obtain the highest resolution under the condition of the required SNR. This optimal model is a multi-constraint optimization problem, and the simulated annealing method has been used to solve it. Solving the optimal model can obtain the optimal spectrum, and the ONLFM waveform can be designed by using the stationary phase principle. Compared with the electric pulse sound source used in traditional technology, this ONLFM sound source can improve the energy and extend the frequency band range of the reflected wave, which can provide the higher resolution and SNR. The simulation results show that the ONLFM sound source can effectively improve the SNR and resolution of the reflected wave, and the detection range and imaging resolution of dipole shear wave remote detection will be improved.
