| Summary: | The report describes how a control system has been developed to dampen known resonance frequency and optimize excitation at other frequencies of a seismic vibrator source. This vibrator source is used to excite energy at the surface of reflection seismic surveys.The resonance frequency dominates the excited signal, which results in limitations of the systems performance. The vibrator source is excited with a power amplifier that receives a control signal from a chirp signal generator. During the project, a chirp generator, as well as a control system, was programmed in Labview, and tested boththrough simulations and in the laboratory. Initially, it was investigated whether it was possible to regulate the system, partly for resonance attenuation and also for optimization of excitation at other frequencies, using a PID controller. However, this proved to be overly advanced and time consuming to perform in a ten-week project. Therefore, the system was regulated by envelope compensation, which both dampened resonance and optimized excitation at other frequencies. === vibratorkälla, reglersystem, reglerteknik
