Steetle, D R

A marine seismic cable comprising a plurality of universal sections, each section including a plurality of fundamental arrays, preferably positioned end-to-end. Each of the arrays are separately wired to a logic circuit in one of the connectors or cans between sections and wiring is provided for connections to each of the fundamental arrays in at least an adjoining section. The logic circuits are controlled by control signals to produce composite responses from a selected grouping of fundamental arrays and, preferably, also to produce weighted or tapered responses by connecting and emphasizing each of the fundamental responses in the desired weighted manner.
