Seismic Geophone Output Voltage & Equations Calculator

Calculate Geophone Output Voltage

Enter the geophone's sensitivity rating.
Input the peak ground velocity.

Utilize our Seismic Geophone Equations Calculator to quickly determine the output voltage from a geophone. This tool is essential for seismic exploration, vibration analysis, and geophysical surveys, helping you understand signal strength based on ground velocity and sensor sensitivity. Optimize your data acquisition planning.

Formula:

The primary equation used in this calculator for determining geophone output voltage is:

Vout = Gs × Vg

Where:

  • Vout = Geophone Output Voltage (Volts)
  • Gs = Geophone Sensitivity (Volts per unit of velocity)
  • Vg = Ground Velocity (Units of velocity, e.g., meters/second or inches/second)
This formula helps predict the electrical signal generated by the geophone in response to ground motion.
