Abstract
Presented is the theoretical model for extracting the system response from measurements of the acoustic wave propagating through the linear system. Based on the results of this analysis, measurements are described as a convolution of the impulse response of the system with the mixed-phase-lag nonstationary forward wavelet (or source-generated wavefield). The source-generated wavefield includes all multiple terms generated within the system as well as the energy source signature and the detector characteristics. It is shown that the decay ratio of the source-generated wavefield can be used to separate the energy spectrum of the source-generated wavefield and the energy spectrum of the impulse response from the measurement function. The level of separability of energy spectrum of the source-generated wavefield and the impulse response reflects the amount of information about the measured system, which can be obtained from experimental data. In particular, if the source-generated wavefield does not decay during the propagation through the system, or, if the effective distance of the decay is comparable with the size of the measured system, the impulse response cannot be extracted from the result of measurements. Based on the theoretical conclusions, the computational procedure is proposed for one-dimensional deconvolution algorithm. The application of this algorithm is illustrated using seismic data as an example. The forward wavelet is extracted from seismic data itself. The deconvolution of data with the extracted wavelet provides surface-consistent scaling along with peg-leg and short-period multiples attenuation.
