摘要: A downhole digital memory-logging pulsed borehole radar transceiver operating in the 10-125-MHz band was run repeatedly down two 1.25-km-deep, uncased, water-filled 60-mm boreholes Northern Limb of Bushveld Complex, South Africa. Suspended on an insulating cord, it mapped a steep fault Main Zone from range 75 m through its intersection with borehole. Lowered wire rope, launched guided ~75 m/mus first-order transverse magnetic pulses which shuttled axially between and bedding planes. Decoupled by 2 yielded profile reflections plane echoes superimposed. As descended mineralized, stratified Platreef, traces were found to be imprinted voltage level shifts that showed, Laterolog-comparable resolution, conductivity Platreef.
