Abstract：In order to receive better quality signals,geophone arrays are usually used to acquire seismic waves in petroleum seismic prospecting.Geophone array response attributes are different from those of single geophone in terms of electrical characteristics.Improvement of geophone array's receiving ability is usually emphasized,but response attributes are ignored.Based on geophone structure and field test data,this paper introduces the principle characteristics about the change of geophone array response attributes and discusses effects of geophone array response attributes on seismic data acquisition.
