GEAR FOR OPERATIONAL DISPLACEMENT OF GEOPHYSICAL ANTENNAS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: electromagnetic sounding of upper parts of section, scanning electric prospecting operations. SUBSTANCE: gear for operational displacement of geophysical antennas has dielectric substrate fitted with means anchoring antennas, tension bars and electric cable connecting antennas to measurement and generating equipment. Dielectric substrate comes in the form of inflated structure repeating shape of outline of antenna loop on which surface transmitting and/or receiving antennas are anchored. Dielectric substrate is preferably made of air impermeable, dielectric material and has shape of inflated torus which is fitted with counterweight on side opposite to direction of displacement. Gear for operational displacement of geophysical antennas can also be made of two inflated interlinked structures. EFFECT: improved operational convenience, increased locality of geophysical sounding, raised efficiency of exploration in motion. 4 cl, 5 dwg
