Realization of High-speed Data Transmission in Seismic Data Acquisition

Data transmission is one of key techniques of acquisition station for seismic data acquisition system. With the development of electronics, computer science and communication science, a good realization method has become available for seismic data transmission. The paper focused on the independent design & development of Manchester encoding module, Manchester decoding module and parallel/serial and serial/parallel conversion module by hardware description language (HDL) with FPGA as main control unit and Manchester code and low-voltage differential signaling as theoretical basis. It can realize data transmission speed of 16Mbps between seismic data acquisition stations. Testing results showed low error rate during data transmission to ensure that seismic data acquisition station can read commands sent by power station and convey seismic data correctly.
