Abstract
Method and resonant source for generating low-frequency seismic waves. The resonant source includes a frame; a reaction mass configured to oscillate relative to the frame; a resonant suspension system connecting the reaction mass to the frame and including at least a spring; and a spring clamp system connected to the resonant suspension system and configured to modify a resonant frequency of the resonant suspension system. The resonant suspension system is configured to allow the reaction mass to oscillate relative to the frame with a corresponding resonant frequency.
