Abstract:

According to the marine CSEM(controlled source electromagnetic method), many controlled source electromagnetic acquisition stations in the bottom of the sea need to observe weak electromagnetic signal synchronously and continuously for long term. To solve the problem that it can‘t receive GPS RF signal in submarine, the high stability OCXO combines with precision GPS clock as the hardware foundation. The low time drift technology is put forward through locking GPS before and after launched deployment, as well as time drift compensation. Many controlled source electromagnetic acquisition stations are realized synchronous observation. Indoor and sea trials indicated that the technology could reduce data synchronization error significantly.

Key words: marine CSEM, low time drift, OCXO
