SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND CONTROLLING INPUT ACOUSTIC WAVES FOR GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01V1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: plurality excess pressure waves is generated via at least one excess pressure wave generator having at least one detonation tube with an open end. At least one excess pressure wave is aligned such that the plurality of excess pressure waves is directed right into the target medium. Recoil force of at least one excess pressure wave of the generator, which exists in the period for generating the plurality of excess pressure waves, is associated with the target medium for generating guided acoustic waves. Synchronisation of generation of the plurality of excess pressure waves can be carried out in accordance with a synchronisation code.

EFFECT: direction of input acoustic waves to a given point in the target medium.
