Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for use of directionalized antennas at a seismic module in a seismic survey array to allow for simultaneous transmission and reception of data in a serial data transfer line. The directionalized antenna may be selectively controlled such that the control of the transmission functionality and reception functionality are independently controlled to transmit data in and receive data from different directions. In turn, bandwidth utilization may be improved in the survey.
