Abstract The ray series method may be generalized using a ray centered coordinate system for general 3D-heterogeneous media. This method is useful for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) seismic modeling, seismic analysis, interpretational purposes, and comparison with seismic field observations.For each central ray (constant ray parameter), the kinematic (the eikonal) and dynamic ray tracing system ...

In order to estimate elastic parameters of the subsurface, geophysicists need reliable information about angle-dependent reflectivity. In this paper, we describe how to image nonzero offsets during shot-profile migration so that they can be mapped to the angle domain with Sava and Fomel’s (2000) transformation. CIGs also contain information about how well focused events are at depth, and so pro...

this paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional sogi (second-order generalized integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

Measuring reflection amplitude versus offset (AVO) has proved to be effective in reservoir characterization. Experience shows that AVO inversion methods based on amplitude-preserved prestack migration typically provides a more accurate lithology estimate than NMO-based AVO analysis. However, some artifacts may be introduced into the migration section due to an undersampled acquisition geometry,...

In this paper, we provide a simple closed-form expression of the effective signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) performance under the combined effect of synchronization errors (i.e. phase noise, carrier frequency offset, Doppler spread, sampling frequency offset, and timing jitter), transmitter I/Q imbalance, receiver I/Q imbalance, and amplifier nonl...
