Patent attributes
An underground investigation device includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a pulse wave, a reception unit configured to receive a reflected signal, a memory configured to store time waveform data of the reflected signal, a storage device having a larger capacity than a capacity of the memory, a control unit configured to transfer the time waveform data from the memory to the storage device, and a signal processing unit configured to generate underground investigation data based on the time waveform data in the storage device. The reception unit sets a measurement span for sampling the reflected signal by using, as a trigger, transmission of the pulse wave or reception of a reflected signal resulting from reflection by a ground surface, samples the reflected signal in the measurement span, and stores the time waveform data in the memory. The control unit transfers the time waveform data from the memory to the storage device after the measurement span.
