Abstract
Force-balance feedback geophone apparatus and methods for characterization of the geophone apparatus. Control inputs ( ) provide for switching ( ) of a force-balance feedback geophone between operational states, thereby allowing for in situ determination of geophone characteristics. Feedback circuit modification provides for increased bandwidth and a series RC circuit in the reference resistance provides for increased damping without significantly affecting low frequency performance.
