Abstract:
An arcuate or flat ferroelectric sensor is incorporated in a seismic streamer. The structure comprises an interior cable, a surrounding woven strength member, an overlying foam floatation layer, and an enclosing jacket. One or more elongate channels are formed in the overlying floatation layer, and one or more hydrophones are mounted in the channel(s). The elongate channel enlarges the acoustic aperture for the reception of seismic signals.
