Land seismic survey including providing at least two vibrators in a first group, wherein each vibrator in the first group is assigned to a respective source line, where the source lines of the first group run substantially parallel to one another; providing at least two vibrators in a second group, wherein each vibrator in the second group is assigned to a respective source line that is different than the source lines assigned to vibrators from the first group; actuating the vibrators in the first group simultaneously using different frequency bandwidth sweeps and different phase encodings; actuating the vibrators in the second group at the same time as those in the first group, and simultaneously using different frequency bandwidth sweeps and different phase encodings; and detecting the resulting seismic signals with a plurality of seismic sensors that are placed in contact with the earth and as part of a seismic spread.
