SIMULTANEOUS NOAH'S DECONVOLUTION OF SHOT WAVEFORM AND MULTIPLE SIGNATURES
, by Larry Morley
An extension of the Noah's method of deconvolution from the single channel to a two-channel case is presented.
This extension is made to enhance decoupling between the shot waveform and the multiple reverberation train.
In the two-channel case deconvolution consists of solving from small perturbations in the assumed shot waveform
and reflectivity series.
Synthetic examples show that this method is capable of tracking both the shot waveform and primary reflectors
through zones of marine data where primaries and multiples strongly interfere.
