<![CDATA[According to principle of transient electromagnetic method as well as its signal characteristics, this paper designed and implemented a time-domain airborne electromagnetic weak signal data acquisition system. With the use of the floating-point amplification technology, the system amplifies the weak transient electromagnetic signal dynamically. CPLD and DSP were used as the decoding control circuit and the main controller for processing the sampled data, respectively. The transient electromagnetic signal acquisition system, which was designed with a dynamic range up to 144dB and a sampling rate up to 100 kHz, meets the requirements of the high sampling rate with high precision and it has been applied in the time-domain fixed-wing airborne electromagnetic mineral exploration.
